Question: Where should I stand when my partner is serving?
Answer: Your best position is usually right in middle of the service box opposite the receiver. Find the middle by imagining where the two diagonals of the box intersect. You can play a little farther back or forward to adjust to the tendencies of your opponents. Remember to move forward to intercept volleys and to back up in defensive situations.
