Impressive how easy you make it look when you put the balls exactly where you want.

[@chalk9352]

Win with geometry and this one are great videos. I am lefty and used all the information to my advantage. Looking forward for the new videos. Thank you for all the content.

Should tournaments be playing loud music for the fans? Madrid WTA match today between Baptiste and Saville... they had a very loud concert going near the court and they had to play through the second set with that distraction. That concert was very loud! Can't wait to use this serve information this weekend!

[@EdgewoodTennis]

A local tennis club plays has speakers on every court playing loud music. It's very annoying b/c you can't hear your opponent calling out or the score.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Not a fan of music during tennis

Opelka Slice Mentioned in Video 👉 kzbin.infoNCs3kwABL5s?si=3f6L0lhK2dzg8C00

[@patrikmarflak6559]

Omg, he really threw the ball so far to the right most guys wouldn’t even reach there with their wing span. And the other player, as soon as he saw the crazy toss, he knew he had to go right, but it still wasn’t enough. Monster serve really. My usual hitting/match partner often throws the ball too much to the right, but I never have to anticipate the extreme slice, because he can’t do the slice serve. Instead I can ease up, because he always nets the ball from that toss position :) On the other hand, I can curve the ball with slice, but it’s almost always a body serve. It’s very effective, but I really want to learn hitting a short angle and just can’t get the right direction. Btw. what happened to Opelka? He kind of disappeared from the tour.

[@Shaunsweeney-Kubach71]

I practice flat serves out wide, I use the mini cones and try to hit them. I use a flat serve out wide in doubles, but I will practice the slice serves my next practice. Thank you Coach Nick

Just love this video 🙏❤️🎾🏆

[@Better_Call_Raul]

*Great video!* 🎾 It would also be good to demo how to make the slice serve land short. 🤔

[@BurnsTennis]

Andy Roddick famously said that Sinner needed "the Sampras tail" in his wide serves. “You can serve it 111 [mph] out wide, but if it’s coming straight, it’s pretty easy for the opponent to square up. “But if you have that [Sampras] thing, where it’s 108 out wide, but in the last little bit before it gets to you, it tails away and grinds against your racquet strings, it makes it a lot tougher.” If Sinner is not good at slicing, maybe he feels more comfortable banging it out wide at 125mph on the deuce court.

[@henu7717]

What is the direction of his toss? Compared to clockwise...

[@AnonYmous-mw7eb]

Your content is very helpful. Would you please make a video that teaches how to develop directional control over the serve? I was originally taught that a right-handed player can move their serve more leftward in the service box by adding progressively more slice to the serve. Conversely, I was taught that a right-handed player can move their serve more rightward in the service box by hitting more flat. So, I don’t understand how to hit a flat serve in the left side of the service box, nor a slice serve in the right side of the service box. Thank you.

[@jungl3ist]

Coach Nick! Have you been weightlifting recently? Because it looks like your arms are bulking :->. Can t wait your serve videos.

[@bmanbusee3812]

Right! I noticed that too in one of the other videos. Biceps flexing and all. Getting gains at 40+!!

[@corradogiachetta2154]

8:38 Omg 😂No one is getting that back

[@Michalorc]

Thank you. Can you include informations about left handed players?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

When leftie plays righty reverse everything I said in this video.

[@BurnsTennis]

Great tip about standing close to the centre line to get slice on the ad court. I've been writing about this since the 2000s. It's the principal reason Sampras' serve is a level above many of his contemporaries and modern players. An example, this is clearly something Alcaraz did not work on growing up, and is now proving an issue at elite level.

[@joshuacox7483]

Hey Nick, great video and big fan of the channel. I have a question I’m sure a lot of other people struggle with and wondered if you had any insights. I’ve been on a pretty bad losing streak recently, losing matches with very uncompetitive score lines, many of which were completely winnable- but I can’t figure out why I’m losing. I’ve fine tuned and fixed my technique and am very consistent, I play with high intensity and split step, I understand court geometry so I know where to stand and I make an effort to always hit to big and consistent targets, and I even pay attention to momentum and monitor my rhythm. And yet, somehow I still keep losing all these winnable matches. How do I learn to pull it all together and finally get over the hump?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Impossible to say You have to find reasons why kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWPYgYOoaKukmJosi=Ollzj2BHlzOJ6LB5

[@Paco-ht5gu]

If you turn more sideway on add side, it's easy to hit slice.

[@Wooooosaaaaaa]

Do they all have pickleball lines where you film?

[@VintageSecure]

What if he is hitting a flat slice? Lots of high levels players like to hit flat slice serves.

[@rsh8057]

Do you close the racquet face slightly to make the slice serve land shorter in the serve box intentionally?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Not consciously

[@leandronicolas8848]

[@DavidBazalar]

Naive question: can a wet court and ball neutralize the spin?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Wet hard court will generally make the ball bounce lower or not at all. The curve can also be negatively affected.

[@rotcivhp]

Thisserves mirrored apply to lefties?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Yes

[@Better_Call_Raul]

Why is slice down the Deuce T better than flat down the Deuce T? I find flat down the Deuce T much easier to hit. 🎾 🤔

[@davidhale8034]

It's not.

[@lodisknight990]

4:23 That poor ball stayed stuck there the whole video

[@joseppi4cinqua]

What people fail to understand is every serve doesn’t to have a name. Yes there’s flat slice and kick, but there also everything in between. It’s just a serve man.
