Hi Alois
I just watched this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psqmHQYKDYs&feature=related
I must say I'm really surprised by his serves. What makes his serve so fast and spinney?
I don't think only the wrist movement is enough to do a very good quality serve.
Any idea?

Hi Ittipat,
Schlager is serving with a lot of variation and deception. He has a very similar movement for a lot of serves so it is hard to tell until the last moment what type of serve is coming. However the main contact and spin uses a lot of wrist to generate the spin.

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.
