Today I learned the names of serves in Chinese! 😂

Core Serving Terms
* Flat Serve: 平击发球 (píngjī fāqiú) - Literally means “flat-hit serve”.
* Kick Serve: 上旋发球 (shàngxuán fāqiú) or 侧上旋发球 (cèshàngxuán fāqiú) - “Topspin serve” or “side-topspin serve”.
* Slice Serve: 切削发球 (qiēxiāo fāqiú) or 侧旋发球 (cèxuán fāqiú) - “Slice serve” or “sidespin serve”. [1, 2, 3]

Useful Vocabulary Breakdowns
* Serve (Noun/Verb): 发球 (fāqiú) - Literally “to send the ball”.
* Flat: 平击 (píngjī) - Flat hit.
* Topspin: 上旋 (shàngxuán) - Upward spin.
* Sidespin: 侧旋 (cèxuán) - Sideways spin.
* Slice: 切削 (qiēxiāo) - To slice or chop. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
If you are playing a match or practicing with someone, you can use these terms in a sentence like: “我想要练习我的切削发球” (Wǒ xiǎngyào liànxí wǒ de qiēxiāo fāqiú), which means “I want to practice my slice serve.”
