Coach stands in front of the player. Player serves wide from the deuce side before coach tosses the ball to the player's forehand. Player moves and hits forehand down the line.
Building patterns based on serve is the priority for any player. Serving wide can give players big opening on the court so they should often practice this serve. Coaches have to remember that players must execute the next shot if the return is not challenging so connecting serve with the next shot is of utmost importance in development process.
