Serve and bandeja
Serve, close in, and answer the lob return with a bandeja to keep the net instead of giving it up.
Quando a jogar
When receivers often answer your serve with a lob. When you are at the net and the lob is not deep enough to run back for.
Como a jogar
Serve and move in, but keep watching for the lob. Turn side on early and take the ball in front of you with the bandeja. Play it deep and step back in to the net.
Erros comuns
Running too close to the net, so every lob goes over you. Trying to smash every lob instead of controlling it.

Perguntas
A serve and bandeja é legal no padel?
Legal: after the serve bounces in the box the ball is in play (Rule 12.2), so you may take the lob return in the air with a bandeja.
