Tommy Paul has one of the smoothest serves on tour. Does anyone have a motion that’s easier to copy than Tommy?

I was just thinking about his serve before I found this video. Spooky! I see a great chest lift to the ball, knee bend and relatively straight back. By this I mean his thoracic extension allow him to lift his chest without excess lumbar curvature. Tommy is going to be a tough out for anyone right now, as he is playing some fabulous tennis!

How does Tommy's serve compare to that of Dolgopolov's. Nice video, Thanks Jason.

[@TennisUnleashed]

The dog had a uniquely quick service motion. Tommy’s ball toss drops more than Dolgopolov’s did. A lot of similar components but Alex’s ultra quick motion makes for lots of timing differences. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.

From my viewpoint and please correct me if I am wrong, Tommy has "elevated hitting elbow" its still below shoulder but from backview his hitting arm is really high up. It looks like he is not actively moving the racket tip from its peak (trophy position) then use his right arm to move racket past the head toward the racket drop position but rather using his leg drive, tucking of tossing arm aka shoulder over shoulder, and thoracic extension to create the racket drop from trophy position. Is this something armature players can copy or this is one of those things unique to Tommy due to his flexibility and the fact he is a professional?

These views tend to hide just how much he arches his back. It works well for him but is going to be dangerous for most players.

[@TennisUnleashed]

It depends. We’ve got a view directly behind him with the video on the right side of the screen. A strong core and fitness helps when it comes to supporting our back.
-Jason Frausto

[@marktace1]

A strong core and fitness does little if a player is prone to Pars injuries as is fairly common among players going through a growth spurt and older players with back issues.

[@TennisUnleashed]

Each player is different Mark. Having coached and developed players for 25 years, age and stage always matter. It’s a case by case basis. I have a broken back from a car accident, it doesn’t prevent me from serving bombs. Every player is different. Enjoy the day.
