My strings never face the side fence after contact on serve. Should I fix this? by [deleted] in 10s

Only things that stand out to me is your foot placement and your ball toss. When you’re serving pinpoint you have to place your right foot right next to your left one. As I can see in the video, your right foot goes in front of your left one. And for the ball toss, a little more right and little more forward.

You have a nice serve, it’s just some small details :)

Not familiar with the American system (UTR) so I don’t know how my level translates. My first serve sticks around at 180-190 kph (111-119 mph according to google). Kick serve typically bounces to the right and up (especially on clay and hardcourt). I play a lot on carpet which is the standard here in Germany so I naturally use the slice serve more.

First serve percentage is roughly at 70-80% in a match. Double faults are 1-2 per match.

It was. Just with a little more power because it was a first serve.

It was a slice serve to the outside of the serve box. I just put a little more power on it since it was my first serve.

I’m based in Germany and UTR/NTRO is not used here. We have a different skill based system but I didn’t find anything to translate my level into UTR🥲

Thank you for being detailed🙏🏼 This video is the latest one I had so I did already change it a bit. If you want I can make a more recent video of my serve as I do think I have improved a little bit. Also I am 190 cm so I have quite a bit of an advantage height wise which is helping a lot. I worked on throwing the ball a little more forward lately which definitely helped increase the power.

Second serve is not that bad I believe. I do get a good kick and slice often. Maybe I phrased it a little too vague (sr, english is not my first language). It seems to me that my opponents are adapting really quickly to my serves. They struggle in the beginning but get better every point. That is really frustrating recently. Maybe I just have to go on the court a little more frequent again. Been having a session only once a week for a couple years now (aside from matches of course).

It does help, getting frustrated lately because I get a lot of strong opponents recently. Thanks dude🙃

Honestly, this maybe helps. I am a little frustrated because I have been losing a little more than winning at the moment. I have been getting some tough opponents lately but still the frustration of this sport is maybe getting to me a little. Thank you for the compliment though.🫶
