Shots of the pros, EPISODE 2: Nick Kyrgios' serve

In this new video format, I will go deep into the best shots we've ever seen in tennis. Today, let's focus on Nick Kyrgios’ serve.
The Australian has a very powerful serve with both first and second serve. It's one of his main weapons and his opponents find it very difficult to return it.
It was thanks to his serve that Kyrgios reached the Wimbledon final in 2022, his first Grand Slam final.
Nick Kyrgios, one of the most entertaining player on the ATP Tour, will play UTS Los Angeles in July! We'll see how he deals with one serve only!
In this video, I'll help you to focus on eight major aspects in the Kyrgios’ serve :
1/ The starting position
2/ The weight transfer
3/ The toss
4/ The trophy position
5/ The acceleration
6/ The contact with the ball
7/ The pronation
8/ The ending
Chapters :
0:00 Intro : One of Kyrgios biggest weapons is his serve
1:25 - Kyrgios’s starting position
2:34 - The extreme weight transfer of his body
3:23 - Nick’s toss and the whip effect
4:47 - The perfect trophy position
5:14 - How he produces an incredible acceleration
6:08 - A great body angle for a high contact with the ball
6:34 - The pronation
6:56 - Nick’s balance stays perfect after the serve

Hope he’ll play soon, I really enjoy watching his games especially after I learned that he never practice as much as pro players do.

@tennisedit Жыл бұрын

I wonder if you could argue that because of his serve motion he has created additional stress on his knee. The large separation of the feet puts alot of pressure on the front left knee. He has been having alot of injuries lately and alot of that complaint is about his left knee. If you don't believe me, try his serve technique , you will notice that there is alot of pressure on the left knee. Then try to imagine that you need to multiply this by 10,000 serves.

Before Nick won the doubles AO title, I always thought he would be a much better doubles player than singles player specifically because of his serve. His ball toss is so consistent, it's almost impossible to read where he will place his serve which is a big advantage in doubles

@olegbelousov 11 ай бұрын

Here the thing. It's not just serve that requires a whipping effect to produce a power. Ground strokes are dependent on this too. The problem is how to develop it. It has not just to click in, you have to be able to recognize what happened. After that you are in the zone and you will never look back. That's how three Gods became unbeatable. Got lucky to experience it and remember it. Once they got a thing, a precise thing, and a feeling they will not forget it and they will continue working on it, making it more and more reliable. That's it. Luck is a big part of success:))
