Answer
01 Controlled deep serve
At 9-9, after two maximum-speed misses, extra speed has no weak return side to pay for it. A controlled deep serve gives a repeatable start and a balanced third-shot read.

Answer
3 Move C with a low inside dink
It changes C's movement while keeping pace and partner coverage comparable, and it limits D's chance to intercept the test. Hand alone does not explain it, because both sides worked when C was settled.

Answer
1 T1, Soft reset
The first block did not make the second ball attackable. Keep the reset low in front of the player still recovering, and use C's forward gap so the soft ball falls instead of feeding the new seam attacker, D.
