How to stay low through contact for better control and depth
Why taking time away from the server is crucial on fast courts
Andy Murray’s mindset and instincts when returning serve at the highest level
Nick Horvath introduces the “hit and fly” concept — a powerful method where players make contact before landing their step, allowing momentum to flow through the ball and dramatically improving consistency.

Andy also explains why returning serve is more about reaction, positioning, and balance than trying to over-control placement.
