A generic term used to describe any soft, relatively slow and delicate shot hit with very little pace or depth low over the net and usually at an acute angle, but also at the feet of an opponent if he is inside the service court area. Used especially to neutralize the effectiveness of volleying attacks.  2, record 1, English, - dink

Although 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, the term is not entirely synonymous with "dink". The latter is more generic in that it may refer to any shallow shot hit with much or very little spin. Moreover, it usually implies a certain degree of ruse and deception with the use of body language unlike the neutrality of the term "chip". "Dinker" is the slang term often heard on the courts.  2, record 1, English, - dink

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF

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 2, 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 2, English, - chip

Tantôt il désigne ce que l'on appelle en anglais «chop», tantôt «block» tout simplement, tantôt «blocked return», selon la situation du jeu.
