Serve and volleying lefties are tricky, especially in the ad court.
They pull you wide and unless you hit a really well placed return they have a lot of open court to volley into.
In my last match I was faced with playing one of these guys.
Initially, I started by returning with normal 2-handed backhand but I wasn't happy with the results. So, late in the first set which was on serve, I decided to really move my feet with his slice and then hit a soft slice return right up the line forcing him away from the center of the court.
It worked perfectly . I broke to win the first set and then broke again early and won the second set and the match in straight sets.
Moral of the story as always --keep searching for creative ways to switch patterns into your favor.
