Hi Archel,

This is a Backhand sidespin topspin serve. He is just doing it from his forehand side to get an angle across to Ma Long's forehand side.

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.
