Hi Leonel,

Firstly if you have a tournament coming up I would just stay with the serves you know well.  It is difficult to learn new serves and use them in a tournament straight away.

If you are looking to serve like Timo, keep watching his serves as much as possible.  Try to get a more brushing action on the contact.  The contact is the key to the spin.  It sounds like you are contacting the ball too flat.
