Big Servers

There have always been players at the top of tennis who have built their game on a massive first serve – legends such as Pete Sampras, Goran Ivanisevic and Andy Roddick spring to mind.

There is nothing better than a free point, especially in crucial moments in big matches. Just keep the scoreboard ticking in your favour by slamming an unreturnable ace down on your opponent.

Even if they manage to claw the ball back into play, the serving masters are waiting to follow up volley of forehand to kill the point in an instant.

It is a demoralizing way for the receiver to lose a break point, set point or even match point. There will always be room for the game’s big servers.
