Dimitrij ovtcharov backhand serve
Serving
Jasper Low Asked 4 years ago
I noticed these few days that dimitrij ovcharov has developed a backhand serve that seems quite simple to read. I thought the top players are most likely gonna crunch through that serve but somehow he actually disrupts their momentum quite well. What's happening there?

Hi Jasper,
It is a serve he has used for a long time. It looks simple but he gets some good variation and angles on the serve to make it difficult.
He generates a lot of spin and deception with the extreme turn that he gets.
We have a tutorial on it. Take a look at the Ovtcharov serve tutorial.

Variation of Spin
Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
