Peri Starting To Serve
This is the first of a three photo serving sequence, illustrating Peri Campbell-Innes' forehand serve. Peri has just thrown the ball into the air, and is using a conventional stance for the forehand serve, with the right foot a little backwards and behind the left foot. It is also possible to see how Peri has moved her thumb up the blade onto the rubber, as part of loosening her grip to give more flexibility of movement of the racket.
