How to do the Dimitrij Ovtcharov backand serve?
Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago
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.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
