Hi Judah,

It is his variation of serve and his accurate placement that allows him to attack first.

His serves are fast but short which makes it difficult for his opponent to keep the return short and low. Therefore he gets the first attack.

There isn't one serve he is doing, but a variation that makes him successful.

← no spin serve Long and short serves →

If you use the sidespin or pendulum serve the contact point is important if tou contact on the top off the ball you get some topspin if you contact undernath the ball it will generate some underspin.
