[@ivandean1]

Several players in the tennis history played two first serves, one, I clearly remember developing it, was Ivan Lendl. He tried that tactic to win Wimbledon. He was pretty successful with that tactic (reaching two finals), but he never felt comfortable with volleying, which was his other weakness to win on grass. To get back to Giovanni, he has forehand and backhand. The latest big servers (Karlovic, Isner) were missing backhands and were relying to get an easy volley. To me, Giovanni is much better athlete than both, Karlovic and Isner.

[@innosanto]

Best second serve is Pete Sampras.

We can imagine that he adapts his service scenario based on his opponent and his confidence at the moment... because confidence is not something permanent.

Six foot eight means with your height you can get a higher and harder downward arc on your serve. Of course the rest of your game needs to be top notch, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard probably has a longer reach, which is advantageous.

6'8" is 99% of the reason for the serve dominance. Shaq ain't Shaq if he was 3 inches shorter......Dirk isn't Dirk if he was 3 inches shorter.......the rest of his game doesn't have to be as great but that mental game sure does.

[@cambium0]

Those are the right questions and I think the answer to the main question is that no, this will not be a feature of his game year 'round. You feel good inside, having a good week, you do this, make some waves. But it's not just conditions that change--players go through all kinds of ups and downs and if he doesn't have the reliable 2nd serve on an off day, he's probably going home.

[@brianmi40]

But 6'8" gets to SEE a lot more court on the other side. The geometry is just better for them. Time will tell.

[@TheMg49]

I recall seeing a video about hitting two first serves a while back, not sure how long ago. I think that they calculated that pros would win more service points by hitting two first serves all the time. Maybe that only applied to the big servers. I forget. Hardly anybody wanted to try it though. The main reason being that they didn't have enough confidence in their first serve. They preferred the much smaller chance of double faulting with a kick serve.

[@CSV1973]

Out law the 2nd serve and tennis would be more interesting … Every racquet does not have a 2nd serve… it was created with wooden racquets… no need to slow down the courts, slow the ball or roll back to wood racquets… Like badminton, pickle ball or ping pong… just 1 serve!!!

[@mattlunsford731]

These comments are wild. People acting like aces and mph's is the only goal of serving and the only metric to judge if its any good. Having a huge serve is great but doesnt mean you win. Most of the huge servers you can name...isner, goron, ivo never won all that much. Same for the new guys. Thats why Sampras was special. His all around game was top tier AND he had that booming heavy serve that you couldnt read. He was always cool under pressure with it and his second was heavier and faster than most peoples. Yes there are bigger servers. Yes taller guys with wide angles and high balls, but they couldnt put pressure on you after the serve and if they had to rally, they lost. Pete could rally. Pete would attack with volley so you had no time to recover after the serve. Petes serve may not be the greatest single serve ever but he is the greatest server ever because of what he did and could do after the serve. Always consistent always big always clutch. Impossible to read...all backed up with crashing net game or a hammer forehand. Petes serve allowed him to put you on the defensive and him on the offensive every single point of a match. If youve played real tennis you know thats rough to deal with. Aces are nice but smothering your opponent with bludgeons is better. 14 grand slams versus zero for most of the big ace guys makes the case.

[@brianmi40]

Seems like you skipped his overall 1st serve win rate was tour leading... As for #1 ranked players, he's 4" taller than the tallest in history, Marat Safin. It should be an obvious fact the geometry of a tennis court is just different for someone that tall serving. Perricard's 7" taller than Sampras. Not saying he's better or will even do well, but he sure as hell warrants watching with those stats.

[@EduardoEspinosa-j7c]

I don't think so, agassi Johansen vs Agassi at the Australian open.. I think over 50 aces, nevertheless. Agassi managed to deliver a master class in returning because he won the match

[@masterbuilderproductions]

Focusing more on speed rather than consistency can work, but shouldn’t be the first choice. Remember Ben Shelton at the 2023 US open? Just as fast as perricard but now Shelton has a more consistent deep kickserve, but he still has 140+ rockets when he needs them. The key is just serving smart

Just another big server, and Shelton is not renowned for his return of serve and movement. Sam Groth served over 163mph against Federer, who returned it like it was 100mph...consistently throughout their match. Isner and Karlovic tried the same against Novak and fell with even more devastating results, such is Novak's ability to anticipate and move incredibly quickly. When Isner was asked who was the best returner of his serve during his career, his answer was unequivocally Novak. He said, "he's the first, second and third best returner I have ever faced". And Isner has the world record for the number of career aces, 14,440. He played Isner 12 times and lost 10 out of the 12, an 83.3 losing percentage. So, a huge serve really only works against lesser players. It was the same when Borg faced Rosco Tanner, and he was throwing down serves at an average of 145mph in 1978 with a wooden racket and even hit 153mph. Once a top 5 receiving player learns a big servers style, it's only a matter of time before a they turn the match to their favor panicing the power server (Shelton does it all the time) because they have no B game.

@@rafaelodossantos4210 sampras isnt even in the same league as perricard. Stop coping

[@deliciano1294]

He's 6 8 so obviously his serves are bombs like john isner. But you didn't mention the rest of his games is inconsistent.

[@orwell9579]

6'5 and above should only be allowed one serve

[@danschannel169]

He's only going to get better...... impressive.

[@simon0yeung]

Sampras invented 2 first serves.

[@Ten-Chi]

Two first serves he should win Wimbledon 🤔

[@caylladera3849]

Reminds me of pete sampras

[@spencergreen5934]

He will be in the top 10 soon..

I wonder how you can even miss a first serve when you're 6'8''. Your calculation at 6:16 is wrong by the way and it is not a viable strategy if you use these numbers: Scenario 1: - 64% of first serves are in while he wins 79% of points --> 0.64 x 0.79 = 0.5056 = 50.56% - To that number you need to add the point win percentage for the times he needs to hit a second serve (36% of the time). He will win 52% of those points with a 95% chance of the second serve to be in --> 0.36 x 0.95 x 0.52 = 0.17784 = 17,784% - Service points won: 0.5056 + 0.17784 = 0,68344 = 68.344% Scenario 2: - 50.56% of all points played won with a first serve - Add second serve win percentage: 0.36 x 0.6 x 0.75 = 0.162 = 16.2% - Service points won: 0.5056 + 0.162 = 0.6676 = 66.76% However, if he would have the exact same stats for 1st and 2nd serve he would win ~0.4176% more points. (0.36 x 0.64 x 0.79 = 0.182 --> 0.182 - 0.17784 = 0.004176)

Just put metrics on the screen so most of the world can understand.

[@situazionauta]

"for those needing the metric system", you mean civilized people

[@b_2u]

Simply and only height, need to improve all the other skil to get a grand master

[@cpncorndogg]

Well lol the dude is 6,8 so bigger reach, more energy transfer in swing.....it's just like Micheal Phelps. It's just physics.

[@nickhickson8738]

Why oh why that background music all the time ruining this video?
