Same. I played a 5.0 guy who was 6’5 around 280 lbs. Football player physique and absolute machine of a server. Flat serves easily hitting 130mph and kick serves going over my head…and I’m 6’0. He had insane touch at the net too. Very humbling experience lol
@@kiksgreebo147 They have 5 more meters of runway to stay further away. Sure, they are also very conditioned physically, but with half of these serves you just simply can't return - either it's a wall, or height.
I also used to play against 'Ivanisevic-kind' guys in the late 1990s .... was not easy .... as Agassi has said ... it is not the speed ... it is the trajectory.
I hit a serve like this once in my life, on hard court - and could never replicate it again. Sadly it wasn’t in a match either. I’m envious of this guys biomechanics.
Yes! I have an okay kick serve but once I hit a kicker that landed in the service box and bounced to the very top of the back fence. Don't know what I did different and haven't been able to replicate it.
It is because kick serves are meant to be 2nd serve, which is meant to get the point by rally. These crazy kicks are way too low percentage shots due to having to be so close to the line or on the line, not worth it even as a 1st serve.
Is being able to produce a consistent unreturnable serve the holy grail of tennis? Could a person win at the top level with 100 percent winning serves if the rest of their game was definitely sub par?
Played with a guy once who was a very high level player, had won a national title and was about 6 ft 6 tall. Unsurprisingly he had a big fast serve, but he was also casually hitting angled serves that were crossing the baseline well into the next court over. Don't think the opposition were impressed.
I freaking love this. I hit one almost identical to the first to win a doubles tournament in Belgium and what made it even better is it was a second serve.
Friendly reminder: Look at how close to the line or precisely on the line these serves are. You have much better chance hitting an ace down the T than this kind of kick serves. This is why they would get kicked on actual ATP matches instead of the other way round.
scary that the only thing stopping these guys from going pro is cus they aint good enough when they aint serving. Like if you have an insane kick serve and a good return that would make me quit
First one looks like Fabio Fognini. He’s always been one of my favorite players. Everything is effortless but he generates great power on ground strokes and serves - like this video.
Heuuu question... Mais pourquoi ils ne font pas ces services à Roland-Garros, les points seront assurés 😅😂 Est-ce le terrain qui fait que ce n'est pas possible ? Ça ne peut pas être les joueurs car ils ont un excellent niveau.
@@Joe-rk9uy while I can agree with this, we also do need teachers out there too - so I disagree with your blanket negativity. I’m talking good ones obviously. There are many horrible coaches.
