English term

fancy serve to be held comfortably

English to Spanish Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Tennis
When you place a live bet on tennis, competition from around the world becomes a reality and you don’t even have to take a particular side. Perhaps the world No.124 is doing well against his higher ranked opponent and you fancy serve to be held comfortably. Or maybe you feel as though the outsider is going to be cast aside with relative ease in this particular set as real experience shines through and into play.

Perhaps because I know nothing about tennis, but it feels to me like there are some words or letters missing. I am writing this so ProZ will keep me updated.

neutral JohnMcDove : See definition 9 here. https://es.oxforddictionaries.com/translate/english-spanish/... I you "hold" service, means you win while serving. If your opponent wins the game when you are serving, he "breaks your service".
