Hi Siddhartha,
Waldner was an incredible server but I don't think he used the reverse pendulum serve very often. This serve became popular when he was in the later stages of his career.

After his serve he sometimes flicked his wrist to the right, like in a reverse pendulum serve, but he never actually used the reverse pendulum.

Well, his trademark down the line serve is technically a reverse pendulum? Very similar to Zhang Jike's, starting with a normal pendulum and then going the other direction

Marius,to make thing clear:
Pendulum serve is when you contact the ball while swinging TOWARDS YOUR BODY.
Reversed pendulum serve is when you do it while swinging AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
In other words,during Pendulum serve you BEND your wrist,whereas during Reverse pendulum you EXTEND your wrist.
