Two serves or not two serves? That is the question
The APTA offered players an opportunity to use January and February as a 60-day trial period to test a two-serve option at different playing levels in various club events. Feedback via Platform Tennis News was requested.
The May-June issue of the magazine carried the results. There were 19 yes votes to change to two-serves, and 141 voting no, indicating strongly that the change was not favored.
Some of the reasons were:
…..it would ruin the game. We don’t want it like tennis
…..leave the game alone, it is an amateur’s game enjoyed as is
…..how about two returns?
