Thank you and have a nice day !

Hi Alex,

We have lots of lessons about this type of serve. It may look a bit different but it is just a Tomahawk serve.

In this point Ovtcahrov serves it long to Joo Se Hyuk's forehand because he wants to entice an open rally.

this may be a bit off topic but joo played amazing that match! he played superb offense off many of ovtcharovs serves!

I think that Ovtcharov has not been using very much this serve in the last year, is it maybe for some sort of fault while he does it?

Diego,

The serve looks OK to me.
