Towards the side wall
A ball angled so it bounces in the opponents' court and then hits their side glass, which changes its direction and makes the next shot harder to time.
Quando giocarlo
When an opponent is close to their side wall. With a víbora or a sliced shot that keeps the rebound low. On the serve, to pull the receiver wide.
Come giocarlo

Errori comuni
Hitting the side glass before the bounce, which loses the point. Too much pace, so the ball rebounds far into the court.
