How to do the Dimitrij Ovtcharov backand serve?

Hi Andrew,

This is a weird serve indeed.  Looks strange when you first see it.  If you break it down though it is just a backhand serve with a very strange start and finish.

He starts really low in a crouched position then makes a normal backhand serve and then finishes with his right foot right back in a backhand ready position.

We have a video response for our Premium members on this topic showing how to do the serve.  Ovtcharov serve.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
