Hi Coaches,

Much unlike his ex-partners, waldners, simple but confusing serves, perssons serve seem much more complicated and seems to be based on the same deception ma lin tries to use. what exactly is Persson doing on his serve?

thank you

Hi Shripathi,

Persson has a fairly normal serve I think compared to Waldner.  He uses a variety of serves including pendulum, reverse and backhand serves.

He follows the basics of serving by generating a lot fo spin by brushing the ball on contact of all of his serves.
