I think most of the affect of the underarm serve comes after the point because the opponent will stay closer to the base line and will have a harder time returning. I dont think it is a 1 point trick
I did this to my Serbian "buddy" in a casual match on match point 40-30 at 6-5 and he hit the return long and lost his shit, threw his racket started yelling at me. my advice don't do this when nobody is around lol
Yes. I believe that the underarm changes up the tempo of the server. Additionally, people like Medvedev sometimes change where they are located on the serve which is both mentally and tactically sound.
it is good to see people doing this without shame. the point is to put a difficult ball, it is not as spetacular as a serve, but it can be an intelligent and entertaining move to watch and add some variety
Nopes. Its disgrace no matter who does it. Ironically players who do under arm serves themselves don't do it often cos they know it doesn't work. You need overarm serves to create power and spin.
@@acebharath I did, but kyrgios has been known for his underarm serves, and had that one against Norrie that was pretty good, while Bublik had about 20 underarm served and lost about 15 of those
@@byNoko then why there's no stigma for drops hots? Drop shots also work only if you surprise your opponent otherwise they will come to the net and do what you know.

i had a very unorthodox move in the down position in high school wrestling . when the ref said " wrestle " i started crawling forward very fast , leaving my opponent empty handed . The expectation is that you will stand up or turn back into your opponent , so when i went straight ahead they had no counter for it. i got points for an escape .A perfectly legal move.
Ngl, this is great for the sport IMO. It adds a new element of tactics to the serve. You go for a couple of really hard first serves just to get your opponent standing a a few feet away from the baseline and then throw in an underarm. I think it's completely fair.
most of the reason why people get hated from a underarm server is its surprise factor. usually when you serve to the opponent, the opponent is ready to return but with an underarm server the player isnt ready to return and is caught off guard. Mostly why in important points people kinda take it as a cheap point due to its surprise factor. If you comepare it to a drop shot yes its is similar but as a player your in the point ready to get that drop shot rather then just walking back from a towel exchange and then suddenly looking up to see a serve played when you arnt really ready.
The server serves after the receiver is ready to receive, he can serve however or whatever way he wants, it is the receiver's job to react, if he gets caught out that's on him.
Love watching Kyrgios, so entertaining. At the end of the day though, in 20 years time he will be totally forgotten. Won nothing....won't even be in a grand slam final.
@@SkyreeXScalabar I think Montfils is a level above. The guy is known for his speed, and he litteraly flies. He could become a stuntman as a second carreer
Kyrgios is more than entertaining. He has big talent. Unfortunately he really hasn't improved his game in 5 years. And he has many holes to fill. One has to say that he is player that didn't love the sport enough to maximize his talent. Whatever anyone says about him, he made enough money to live out his life comfortably. He could retire now and pursue his life's dream. What more could one ask?
The underarm serve is of course a completely valid serve and no one should get upset to receive one of them. BUT I have a major problem with the style of some of those, in the sense that the server is trying to be deceiving. Trying to look like completely, not only unprepared, but unable and unwilling to serve. This is why I think some people get angry at this serve. Is there a rule? I mean, where is the limit? Can I call a ballboy for my second ball and in the meantime serve an underarm? Or going to my towel and underarm from there? So for me it boils down to: has the receiver the information that a serve can be performed? If yes, it is fair game. If not, it should be a foul point. And that is the problem, where is the line, how much is allowed to act and deceive, and at which point are you allowed to start the point.
have you seen any examples of the situations you described? every server who has attempted an underarm serve is at the baseline, in a set position. There is going to be a bit of deception with the underarm serve, that's what makes it effective, but you're just being hyperbolic.
@@lbjeffries @1:22 for example, Yes, Davidovich is at the baseline, but he is not signalizing a starting serve position. @3:40 and @3:57 are also extremely borderline. You probably play Tennis, so you know what I mean. In the end what I mean, there needs to be defined some rule so that players and umpires know what they can do/can call. Maybe it exists and I just ignore it.
@@jeolmmum I don't agree that these are borderline. The bottom line is that the returner has to play at the server's pace. If the server is in his stance, you have to be ready. That's why the umpires doesn't penalize the server for any violating rules in all of these cases. You can be dick and keep asking for time as Nadal does. And many players hate Nadal for pulling his stunts. This is where the umpire has to step and penalize the returner but it never happens. If I was playing Nadal and I was ready to serve and he's waving his hand, I would serve it anyway. Force the umpire to make a judgement. And if he sides with Nadal, I would ask for a ruling from the tourney official.
What would happen if you hit it high and close to the net with backspin so that after the bounce the ball goes directly to the net or your side of the court? Are you allowed to throw the ball on your racket to generate more spin? Is there a toss rule like in Ping pong?
In almost any other sport the idea is to mislead your opponent making the types of serves as well as the speed and placement should be part of your game I don't see why it's seen as controversial
It reminds me of the frustration of playing a newbie after hitting with my regulars for a long time. You never know where the ball is going to go. And it never has anything "on it" so I have to supply everything. I see why am opponent would be frustrated. I came to search of it's legal, though, because I like to hit low serve tosses. My coach gets so mad and tells me to leave them. I'm going for it! And maybe I'll do the actual underhand, too, especially if my shoulder gives me issues. And it's no worse than the man who sat down on the court for my serve, lol.

It’s something out of the ordinary😂
Completely for, It makes tennis more dynamic and its a good resource
Shouldn’t be a question. Only in tennis can something completely legal be considered controversial.

You need overarm serves to create power and spin.

Underarm serves are no different to drop shots. The stigma around it is stupid.
Agree, just like a drop shot it is a high risk and high reward shot not a cheap shot because they risk the opponent getting an easy put away
I only think it’s cheap when they aren’t looking or aren’t in their returning position
the stigma is mainly because it can catch your opponent off guard when he simply isn't ready
@@byNoko then why there's no stigma for drops hots? Drop shots also work only if you surprise your opponent otherwise they will come to the net and do what you know.
@@jvm-tv But drop shots happen when players are already playing the point, not 1 sec after they went to the towel and they are not ready to return

I´m surprised that shot is not used more often.
Its cause of the fans who bitch about it.
True, it should be used more especially against players like Nadal and Thiem, who stand 20 feet behind the baseline.
it’s a manly thing.. it’s totally legit..
