Step 1

Serve hard.
Because grass plays so fast, harder and faster serves will make your opponent return defensively and can result in an ace. Using a slice serve works well on grass and can set up a serve-and-volley well.

Step 2

Use the serve-and-volley technique.
To serve-and-volley, make a powerful serve and then immediately go to the net to attack your opponents return. If you serve well and your opponent has to return defensively, you should be able to make a low bouncing, fast-moving volley shot that should win you the point or give you control over the point.

Step 3

Hit flatter shots, which cause the ball to move faster and help you have control of the point, as opposed to higher bouncing or loftier shots.

Step 4

Make your strokes short and compact.
This will put you in position to make offensive shots on the low-bouncing, fast-moving balls on a grass court instead of having to play defensively.

Step 5

Position your hits toward the open court and approach the net when possible. Getting your opponent moving back and forth on grass will give you a decided advantage, and being close while your opponent is running will make you nearly unstoppable.

Step 6

Its best not to suffer with hay fever, as sneezing between the shots can make it difficult!
