volleyer
Court net player
A volleyer is a tennis player who favors playing at the net, hitting the ball before it bounces rather than from the baseline.
The serve-and-volley style was dominant in professional tennis through the 1990s but has become less common: He's an old-school volleyer in an era of baseliners.
