The serve is one of the most difficult shots a tennis player must learn because there are so many moving parts. In this section, we will break down the serve so that you can learn it easily. If you follow the fundamentals we lay out here, your service motion will look a lot like Roger Federer's.

Click to watch the first step of the tennis serve:  Step 1 - Tennis Serve Stance

The serve is one of the most complicated shots in tennis because there are bunch of different things going on at the same time. 

If you have ever watched pro tennis, you may have noticed the wide variety of service motions on the pro tour.  Even though these motions may look different at first, every single tennis player with a good serve does certain things almost exactly the same.  We call these things the fundamentals of the tennis serve.

We are going to teach the tennis serve in a way that is technically sound,easy to learn, and that incorporates all those fundamental elements we just talked about.  If you learn the serve based on the technique we teach in this section, your service motion will end up looking almost identical to Roger Federer's.

We will teach the tennis serve in this section by showing you how to do each fundamental step, we will show you high-speed video of pros doing each step, and we will also show you pictures of some top touring professionals doing each of these elements.  Finally, we will show you how to combine the steps together.

flat serve
very nice videos. But is there a section on progressions for the flat serve just as there is one for the kick serve?

The vidoes no longer appear. I recommend adding videos that show the end result of the serves from the receiver's point of view as well. Thanks
