First, the serve must bounce before being returned.  Mastering a good return of the serve will give you a significant advantage over your opponent.

The objective of the serve return is to make the third shot of your opponent a difficult one, a way to accomplish this is to hit the return serve court deep, going after your opponent’s weak side, but be prepared for an aggressive opponent's return just in case.  What a great game!
