Type of return-of-serve groundstroke shot made with a short backswing and in which the lower back side of the ball is blocked back with a slightly open racquet face, thereby imparting both underspin and sidespin to the ball, forcing it to dip and fall into the midcourt. The opponent is thereby forced to generate his own pace to return the ball safely over the net. The ideal shot to used against a serve-and-volleyer; also the motion required to execute such a shot. 3, record 1, English, - chip

A variation of the "chop", a "chip shot" is usually shallow, forcing an opponent to move quickly forward to hit up on a low ball right into the waiting hands of the attacker. Some tennis players consider the terms "dink" and "chip" to be synonymous. However, semantically speaking, "dink" is more generic in that it may refer to any shallow shot hit with or without much spin. Moreover, "dink" usually implies a certain degree of ruse and deception in conjunction with the use of appropriate body language, whereas "chip" implies no deception. 3, record 1, English, - chip
