The modern serve is the shot that starts the point and one of the most decisive elements in contemporary tennis.

It relies on a combination of power, spin and precision, achieved through a smooth kinetic chain that begins in the legs and ends at the wrist.

A consistent ball toss and an upward drive allow players to generate both speed and control.

Today, the serve is seen as a highly technical and athletic stroke, constantly evolving thanks to biomechanical analysis and targeted physical training.
