aying against Rafter because when Rafter rushes up the net Agassi himself is limited on hitting a lob shot (which is a defensive shot that is hit high in the air up and over the opponent). By using serve and volley technique it forces your opponent to make errors, most of the time it will make the opponent tire from chasing after the ball corner to corner. Many sports reporter believe that the serve and volley style is becoming more popular for the younger generation because it helps them to bring the game to a higher level. Similar to the concept of tackling in football, when a player tries to tackle the quarterback it gives the quarterback fear of losing possession of the ball. By being aggressive the tackler succeeds when he tackles the quarterback. The closer you get to your opponent the more fear they will have.My tennis coach trained me to use the serve and volley style, and I realized that it could be fearful to the opponent, because I felt like I was trying tearing him apart into bits and pieces. Experience from my personal game experience I know if I rush up to the net it creates an atmosphere, which causes the opponent to feel uncomfortable. I think the style makes the sport more fun and challenging. The concept of serve and volley can relate to the idea of the best offense is the best defense since it is more of an offensive style of tennis. In order to intimidate your opponent on the court, you must do a magnificent job on placing the ball while serving and volleying. After all it is only about winning or loosing the match depending on the strategy that is used....
