How to do the Dimitrij Ovtcharov backand serve?
Hi Andrew,
This is a weird serve indeed. Looks strange when you first see it. If you break it down though it is just a backhand serve with a very strange start and finish.
He starts really low in a crouched position then makes a normal backhand serve and then finishes with his right foot right back in a backhand ready position.

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
