What's even more awkward is his tossing arm. It almost goes limp and folds over his head. I used to train myself to turn slightly before the toss, to have my back slightly towards the net, so that I am focused only on the toss, and the ball, and not the court/result of the serve. It's tempting to want to see the result of your serve before it's happened, but his tossing arm and shoulder position, however awkward it may be, prevents that.
Normal to me is the Stanford Uni VHS series in the '80s called SyberVision, which used computer-animated technology along with Stan Smith's serve on replay mode to get the motion in the viewer's mind
Not only beautiful, but efficient. No need to use more energy than needed to produce maximum results, especially if you’re playing a match in the hot sun and it can go on 2 hours.
Yup, so agree. The wrist cocking, the way he use his body against his arm to control the toss. Same exact thing as Roddick. But times 2? or times a 100, who knows. I call it chicken serve (with the racket being the beak pecking at the ground)
I appreciate this analysis because you’re right. Casual fans just poke at the windup but that bendy dance he does at the beginning isn’t what’s strange here because that’s inconsequential 😅
@@liamkingsbury7438 No, I appreciate that actually because I genuinely don’t know the term😂 I mean, I don’t see it (just looks like a whacky serve to me), but thanks for the explanation😉
@@ReTracer He has supposedly beaten someone in the top 500 of ATP, he definitely knows where he is going. It is shocking that this serve form is what felt natural to him though! Also he is ranked 1338 in the world
This kind of reminds me of a baseball pitcher. They will often keep the ball behind them for as long as possible to help hide the pitch grip and make it harder to pick up on the pitch.

When I first started learning tennis in high school, I had this video game for the PS2 called “Hard Hitter Tennis”, and one of the characters had a serve very similar to this. 😂 When I was learning and developing my serve, I tried emulating each different character’s serve to see if any of them felt comfortable to me, and the character with the funky serve was actually pretty effective. That’s not how I ended up serving in the long run, but every once in a while I’d break out that weird serve just as a risk and have actually aced a few opponents with it.
La tête vers l'arrière c'est la recherche d'un levier supplémentaire pour gagner en puissance au détriment du système proprioceptif (vision sur le terrain) - Il reussi grâce à celà à mettre en tension l'ensemble des chaînes musculaires entre les membres supérieurs et inférieurs et de bénéficier d'une meilleure élasticité. C'est bien entendu une manière de faire très personnelle mais qui fonctionne pour lui.
This is crazy, because a month ago I saw a video of this guy playing singles and sent a picture of the cover photo to that video (which was the start of this guys serve form) to two of my tennis buddies with this exact comment " I know he would destroy us but good god look at that serve form". I feel like this guy stole my thunder

Bro casts a spell before he serves
You stole this comment 💀
that’s hilarious ur actually so funny and everyone wants to be like you hahahaha
@@friendlypickle_2081 I get that a lot
Funny but stolen
Stolennn
I've decided to call it 'Squid serve'.
😂 good name
The squid serve already exists so no
It does kind of look like an octopus falling out of a tree 😂
🐙 serve.
Good serve. His wrist very like Joe, body motion like Backer.
Wait til you see how he eats cereal.
XD
😂😂😂😂😂
?
Froot loops?
With a spoon 🙅♀️
Didn't even notice his head tbh. Focused all on that boneless slytherin cobra jutsu. Cool how a pro sees things

Rotfllllllllll
I can imagine his Physiotherapist's legendary facepalm watching him play
His physio stacking greens, now that squidman comes in every two weeks needing a cartilage replaced.
He is beating his opponents with laughter 😆
My man’s gone pray mantis mode
Haha somehow this seems totally suiting 😂
Kyrgios and Roddick in one shot
Uh no. Kyrgios and Roddick just have abbreviated take backs to get to trophy position. Literally the opposite of this kid’s over exaggerated setup
@@kabob21holy damn yappathon
He forgot to do the same for the volley
🤭😆😂🤣
Thinking exactly the same thing, after all that 🤣🤣🤣👍
wait till u see his forehand, his name is vlad breazu and he plays for oregon
He's probably gonna twist himself at some point
He is making sure all main muscles are stretched for every serve.
Free style, exorcist mode ...😂😂😂 ❤🎾
I literally laughed loud with this one
Me too
The serve is actually normal....he just does a bunch of weird unnecessary things before he serves...🤔😒
Jokes aside - yes. Guess he simply can'tvconnect with his body properly without some weird ad-moves.

Simplicity is beautiful and that certainly ain't! 😂
Not only beautiful, but efficient. No need to use more energy than needed to produce maximum results, especially if you’re playing a match in the hot sun and it can go on 2 hours.
There is beauty in ugliness! 😂
Problem is, he doesn't get as much effect on the ball as he would like with the extreme setup, he defeats his preparation by striking it ordinarily.
@@funkyguy99such a beautiful ugly comment
Andy Roddick imitation serve!
I was thinking the same seeing Andy serve in a recent video. It’s not too far off to be honest
Yup, so agree. The wrist cocking, the way he use his body against his arm to control the toss. Same exact thing as Roddick. But times 2? or times a 100, who knows. I call it chicken serve (with the racket being the beak pecking at the ground)
To the extreme degree
Thats a shit imitation then
Andy Roddick caricature serve
Q: Who is your tennis idol?
Vlad: I grew up watching Federer, but his style is difficult to copy, so I modelled my game after Stephen Hawking
Andy Roddick*
Already seen this joke
You don’t need to copy. If u copy you don’t have your own style
When you're watching an anime fight scene and you hit pause in the worst frame possible:
Nice music choice. AIR is great
Moon safari what an album
Service action looks like an exotic bird dancing trying to attract a mate
I like that Mouratoglou never actually said that it doesn't work or that it needs fixing, he just says that it's strange to him..
Fantastic song
In case anyone is looking: It's La femme d'argent by the band Air.
The Elaine Dance of tennis serves.
He gets real deep into his flow...deep as hell.
That's what she said in overflow
That's what she said in overflow
That's what she said in overflow
This move is to confuse the receiver LOL! Makes your brain spin !
Table tennis serve on a tennis court
Good point
That serve makes me feel confident that I know what sort of parents he had growing up.
Ostrich form.
He’s just incorporating a spirit animal into the serve.
He’s gonna get a back injury
Probably not. He’s done it so much his body is accustomed to it.
Great song choice
Amazing. Looks very similar to tomahawk serve in table tennis. A lot of sidespin.
It’s a bit like those horror films when someone contorts into an alien or a zombie or something.
That serve is ridiculous.
The "I just hit my head super hard and now my body moves like this" serve
I think he's trying to imitate Andy Roddick.
I appreciate this analysis because you’re right. Casual fans just poke at the windup but that bendy dance he does at the beginning isn’t what’s strange here because that’s inconsequential 😅
For the actual serving part he doesn't look that weird, all the windup stuff is just ceremony, doesn't actually affect the shot at all.
“When he tosses the ball, he’s looking backwards” 😂😂😂 I died laughing
Coaches must've hated coaching this kid growing up
Lowkey kind of zesty 💀
Highkey
I don’t understand, what does that mean?
@@Tennisisreallyfun I’m just gonna be straight up (no pun intended); it means it seems gay
@@liamkingsbury7438 No, I appreciate that actually because I genuinely don’t know the term😂 I mean, I don’t see it (just looks like a whacky serve to me), but thanks for the explanation😉
so fruity and completely unnecessary lol
Bro is serving like he likes to spend some extra time in the showers after the match 😂
This serve action probably keeps the opponent guessing on whether he's going wide or down the T.
I don’t think he knows if he’s going wide or down the T
@@ReTracer 😀

Viktor Troicki had a similar serve and he served pretty good.
Moon safari
love that you used air for the background music
He really is SERVIng 💅💅💅
“I’ve never seen anything like this in my life”-Patrick slips and tells us how he really feels
Look at John Mac Enroe
He was looking backwards too.
The zesty serve
The best part is how amazing of a player he is. He’s a 12.5 utr starter a d1 college team. Says a lot to all the social media warriors out there

Do not forget to appreciate the tossing arm motion :D
He was imitating a ping pong professional service
Man took "twist serve" to a whole nother level
He just holds his racket like a ping pong paddle… bringing his table style to the court!
If Quasimodo played tennis
Risking time violation there😂
Love the music. Kudos
I thought we were watching Special Olympics, at first.
The cerebral palsy serve
You know this guy is French when he’s playing Air
His opponent is mesmerized!
Looks like a ping pong player got told there were bigger paddles lol
Just casually dropping Moon Safari on a tennis clip.
Bros trying to expose himself
Perfect song choice for this short
Pretty good serve though. Accurate and a lot of spin. Guy looks a good player.
Yep, that's officially strange.

Not only Roddick's serve. His volley too.

Pov: you saw craig Kimbrel playing tennis
Gotta love the music (Air) though.
He probably created a style 😂
It called having a kinesthetic awareness, combined with a synchronized wind up.
Andy Roddick serves like this at the beginning but his striking is totally different.
A mad Genius Serve! 🤪🎾
my man got that ping pong ah serve
mans dancing ballerrina
I'd get a sore back if i served like that
I think, he serves with a twist of his hip, perhaps adding a lot if spun to his serve.
I thought it was Andy Roddick for a hot minute
Bro serves like someone described Rodricks serve to him but has never seen it before.
The amount of torque generated is key
The epilepsy serve
Got a Roddick feel to it
Bros living in diablo4 before he serves
Paul Adams of tennis

I didn’t know Ace Ventura played tennis
His coach should never be allowed to teach the service motion again!
He is a tennis time traveler. Future humans have less joints to block their slithering
Bro’s serve has cerebral palsy
It’s called the “Zombie serve”
The backhand volley afterwards is much worse
Love that song.
The dude wanted to somehow combine Tennis and Yoga it seems
Looks like he's having an "episode".
He may freak out his opponents before the serve goes in.
