I agree. Tommy has a very good serve form. Thank you so much, John, for the analysis. I will try to incorporate some of his techniques into my own serve.

Another top analysis, loved the flat/slice contrast lines...super stuff, thanks John.

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Thank you, John!

[@opalpearl3051]

what a great insight - let the movement of the body cause the racquet to fall and rise. Superb video and analysis. He is quite a player. Great Serve, All Court, moves like a cat.

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Thanks for the great feedback! Best, John

[@philbland4207]

A really interesting and useful analysis, as ever. Thanks John. He is such a fabulous server.

[@snowy6753]

Interesting points covered. Is it common these days to have an obtuse elbow angle from the trophy position through the racquet drop, or so much wrist flexion in the trophy position? How do you think these help or hurt his serve?

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Great questions. I think his style helps create a stronger lag and more range of motion, but not necessarily right for everyone. Best, John

Interesting how the left arm comes down so early. For most of us normal players that would probably trigger folding forward too soon and hitting the net

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Hi Andrei, Thanks for your comments. The combination of upward leg drive with the left arm pulling down, all with the intention of hitting up through the ball, keeps the ball from going down into the net.

[@AndreiBgatov]

@@PerformancePlusTennis Do you have a video about hitting UP? It is counterintuitive when you are trying to spike the ball down

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

@@AndreiBgatov You can only spike "down" on your serve if you are making contact at the height of 6'7". Quite simply the dimensions of the court and height of the net require most players to hit up and apply spin to bring the ball down.

He has a kick serve the Spanish clay warriors would be jealous of...

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Agree, except that it's easy to anticipate, so the top returners will handle it. More variety is needed on the second serve. Best, John

I’m missing the view from the side.

Can’t find the link to court level tennis :-(

And your low voice is husking. Could you turn the volume up a bit while editing?

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

I did raise the volume on this particular video. I’ll keep an eye on it going forward. - John’s video editor Randy
