On the first one a serve that's going out it usually means you are not snapping your wrist down at the point of contact. On the second question for moonballs you usually want to take it on the rise. It speeds things up and makes your opponent have less time. Try also doing a lot of serving and volleying against a moonballer this seems to work too. Stay in IVP as moonballers like lobbing. On 3 use both one hand slice and two hand backhand. Many two handed backhand pros have a one handed slice as a defensive shot when their limited reach and position. For 5, practice a day before the match or maybe a longer practice to get you loosened up for the big match. Some of my personal opinons on the questions to Tomaz above.
