Tweener serve:
Nick Kyrgios was locked in with an intense focus on Sunday night as he broke Novak Djokovic to take the opening set in the men’s singles final at Wimbledon.
But even still, there was room for a cheeky underarm serve and a tweener from the Australian, even if former British tennis star Tim Henman was not a fan of the tactic.
Serve slow motion:
In Kyrgios’ defence, he did not go back to the serve as often as he may in other matches, understanding of the need to only use it sparingly.
Todd Woodbridge appreciated that the serve usually worked as a “rhythm-breaker” for Kyrgios but believed it would not have the same success against Djokovic.
Serve Grip:
“You can see the issue with the underarm serve is that Novak wasn’t that deep when returning,” he said.
While Kyrgios was relatively reserved in the opening set, he made sure to bring out an underarm serve early in the first set at All-England Club.
“There is a bit of chat around the underarm serve, whether it’s disrespectful, but it’s nothing of the sort, it’s a legitimate tactic.”
Ranking Singles:
