When they were HS age!

🚨EXPLANATION:

1. Good foot positioning, with the back foot placed behind the front foot
2. Good back leg loading, showing solid support on the back leg
3. This is supported by excellent sidebending
4. With the tossing arm pulled back toward the backfence

HOWEVER:
5. What we see is a low elbow position
6. Which is closely connected to the racket head being too far back, pushing the elbow into a lower position and making the entry into the racquet drop more difficult

-What would help here is positioning the racket head on the right side of the body from the rear angle, and keeping elbow up

7. Another area with room for improvement is hips coiling — specifically, rotating the hips clockwise

THIS LEADS TO:
8. A good transition from the loading phase into the cocking position, transferring energy from the lower to the upper body

THEN:
9. We see a good tossing arm position, close to the body
10. The arm is also extended at the moment of contact

BUT:
11. What we often see in her serve (though not clearly visible from this angle) is over-rotation, which primarily occurs due to insufficient rotation during the loading phase — in other words, lack of hip coiling

FINALLY, WE NOTICE:
12. No collapse on landing, she lands inside the court
13. The right arm stays out to prevent falling sideways
14. The back leg stays high, preventing forward falling

The real question is — should a player at this level correct these small details?
Can these small details make the difference?
Or is her serve already good enough?

You can find my opinion in my story!

P.S. This is a short serve analysis — I didn’t go into detail about why some of the points I mentioned may cause issues, or rather, where they leave room for improvement.

Tennis is now easier to pick up than ever. “But its real advantage over other sports is what happens when you keep on playing,” Alexandra Moe writes.
