Hi Alois and Jeff,

Could you tell me how to make a fake serve, especially pendulum serve? Waldner seems often to do faking serves

Hi Archel,

This is on our list of lessons to film over the next few months.

The main thing though is to make sure you generate good spin first.  Then the action after the contact doesn't matter.  The more weird you can make the movement the better it is to start with.  Try a few moves and see what the effect is on your opponent.
