  1. 1. Toss left
    2. Allow the ball to drop
    3. brush up
    4. Stay sideways
    5. Finish with high elbows

  2. nice but it kind of looks like the ball didn't really kick up and out. He wasn't really trying though

  3. Tennis players are obsessed with the kick serve. They try and try neglecting the other serves. It's very over rated.

  4. For everyone complaining it’s a “weak” serve and didn’t kick over his opponents head or something……first off, the ball did kick out a decent amount, just not “up” high. While it was a demonstration of technique, he didn’t swing that hard…..and racquet head speed plays a part in spin. Second, faster courts have a lower bounce…..and who knows how fast/slow this hardcourt is. Third, balls and the condition of balls makes a difference. Fourth, we can get into strings/racquet and string pattern/tension debate, etc. if we really want to get granular with “spin”, but simply put, who cares. Fifth, he’s not playing on the pro tour and doesn’t have a Boris Becker kick serve (as a ballboy, I was on the court during a match when Boris kicked his second serve over someones head, which was nuts), and that’s fine…..it looks like an effective serve for the level.
