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.
