Question: Where should I stand to serve?
Answer: If you're a righty, serving from the deuce side to a right-hander, stand 3-5 feet to the right of the center marker so that you have the option to serve up the middle to the opponent's backhand. From the ad side, stand at least halfway from the center mark to the singles sideline. Because of the way a righty's slice curves, you can serve up the middle from a wider position on the ad side than on the deuce side, and from a wider position on the ad side you can also kick the ball out wide to pick on receivers who hate to hit that wide backhand.
