Blocked Return

What is a blocked return?

What is meant by a blocked return in tennis?

A blocked return is a shot that uses little backswing, relying on the power of the incoming serve. It’s usually used subconsciously when a big serve is coming right at you and there’s no time to strike the ball. The block return can drop a short and low-skidding ball which might be tough to deal with for someone who doesn’t feel comfortable playing inside the baseline or a deeper, sliced ball which gives the opponent no pace or angle to be aggressive with.
