How does Dimitrij Ovtcharov do his side spin backhand serve?

Hi Ciaran,
We do have a Premium Ask the Coach video response, Ovtcharov serve where we go through this in detail.
It is a strange serve to look at. The main thing that is odd is the starting position down so low. He gets a really good body turn because he is in a side on position. The contact of the serve is similar to others with their backhand serve. He also gets into his ready position quickly because he is turning so fast.

Variation of Speed
Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
