Tennis Serve video instruction -  The reasons why I am showing this video it is not because Roger Federer is the best server or the fastest, it is about three fundamental aspects of the tennis service that are often neglected.

1. The ball toss - Its height has to be proportional to your size and the maximum reach of your body and racket arm when fully extended. (Roger is 1.85 or about 6.1 feet tall and makes contact with the ball at 2.85 meters so he tosses the ball at least 3 meters high.)

2. Reach up for the ball - ball contact should be made at the highest point your racket can reach on a full stretch.

3. Spin. No matter how good of a server you are every serve and I mean every one of them has spin on it.

Roger Federer does this at all times, therefore he gets a very high percentage of first serves in and with it the bonus of winning a large majority of those points.  In this match against Lleyton Hewitt, Roger had won 45 out of 54 1st service points they had played.
