    In today's video, I discuss Martin Damm Jr’s serve which I believe can be one of the best in the world. He could become the newest member of the ATP 1000 club (players with 1000 aces in a single season).

      Pete Sampras by far the best server in my opinion. His second serve was not only one of the fastest on tour on average but he was extremely accurate and I loved how he had the same toss placement for all serves.

    Interesting. A name to follow. My favorite server is, by far, Sampras. I recognize Ivanisevic was amazing in terms of aces, but the level of precision Sampras had with the serve was out of this world.

    Excellent video analysis of his awesome serve Nik! His rise to the main tour may be by mid year. Another under the radar player who I feel had one of the top lefty serves of his time was the big Aussie Wayne Arthurs, who I saw play at the 2001 AO, it was fast and nasty! It was a beautiful service motion also. Excellent content coach . 👍 👏

    I think the problem with extremely tall guys (2m +) in the modern game is that even though they may still play a baseline power game and move very well, they maybe more prone to injury than those around 1.9m. I read somewhere that Kevin Anderson was taught by his dad to develop his groundstrokes and win from baseline. Despite his weight, he is a big serving baseliner. But he did get more injuries than other top 10 guys of his time.

    Watched this guy play against o’connel in Miami , his behaviour on court and lack of sportsmanship was an utter disgrace. This kid has so much growing up to do. If you don’t know what I’m talking about , check out the confrontation at the net in that match. The entitlement and arrogance, for someone who has accomplished nothing on tour is ridiculous, especially against o’connel who is one of the real good guys on tour. Good luck to Damm, hope he can grow up and live up to his potential.

    With all do respect, Nico, but upon observation of the list of the 1.000+ club, other than Sampras, only two players have one Grand Slam each, Ivanicevic and Roddick. All the rest have none.
    The point is, how important is having that "big serve", when players with solid serves (Lendl, Djokovic, Nadal, etc.), and even relatively weak serves (Connors, Wilander, Rosewall, etc.) have a lot more slams and titles in general?

    You should have shown several clips of his serve, as opposed to verbal. And Rosco Tanner had the best motion. It was pure. And he reached 140 mph I believe using traditional equipment (real tennis rackets) as opposed to the giant artificial rackets and string today that are giving the player the power.
