This study aims to analyze the service and return landing areas in badminton men's double, based on data extracted from 20 badminton matches. We find that most services land near the center-line, while returns tend to land in the crossing areas of the serving team's court. Using generalized logit models, we are able to predict the return landing area based on features of the service and return round. We find that the direction of the service and the footwork and grip of the receiver could indicate his intended return landing area. Additionally, we discover that servers tend to intercept in specific areas based on their serving position. Our results offer valuable insights into the strategic decisions made by players in the service and return of a badminton rally.
