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.

Backhand Tomahawk Serve
In this lesson we show you how to execute the Backhand Tomahawk serve. This is a good complement to the Tomahawk serve. By utilising a similar action, it will make it difficult for your opponent to tell which way the ball and spin are going.
