Service Return Strategies

Your game plan is to hit an offensive return when given the opportunity. When that opportunity is not there, let common sense dictate, such as defensive ceiling shots.
The best defense is a strong offense. Use an attacking defense based on pressure attacking. In other words, attack at every available opportunity by putting pressure on your opponent. Your opponent should always feel the pressure knowing that if he fails to execute an accurate serve, you have the skills and confidence to go for an offensive return. The possibly exists that even if a few of your returns go through the middle of the court at your opponent, he may not have the necessary skill or time to re-kill the ball.
If you are leaving too many easy setups on your return, then adjust your game plan appropriately and be more patience. Use more ceiling shots and wait for a more opportune time to go for an offensive return.
Recognize that when your opponent has executed an accurate serve, it is best to play the percentage and go back to the ceiling to draw them deep.
Mix up your return shot selection.
