I did that too. It must be the hardest serve to copy. Pretty tough on the back too. -- nm - Loyola Jul 17, 14:30 1
- I tried a few others but found the motion worked well for me. I can't imagine it's easy to do as you get older. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 14:35
Chang was also one of my favorites for the effort he put in, particularly moving around the court. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 14:26 1
- He was just so much fun to watch with his speed, especially when he played the French open where he was sliding all over the court. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 14:27
