Points to look for:
- The player is continuing to watch the ball, since he is looking to see the result of the serve. If he sees that the serve had caused his opponent trouble, he will look for an aggressive third ball. If he sees that he has not served a good serve (too high, too short, or badly placed), he will get ready for an attack by the receiver.
- The player is pushing up out of his crouch, as he prepares for the receiver's return.
