Why should you get booed if you are winning? Part of balancing your range when you have a superior flat service is too serve underhand a certain percentage of the time.
It also is a good idea if you have just played a long point and you have superior fitness (like Chang did). It will force them to come in off balance.
Now obviously there is a Nash equilibrium for this. If you do it too much they will expect it, and when someone is expecting it, it is probably the worst serve to do.
@dtwplaya im talking about professional tennis. you dont see players doing this every match they play in. neither do you see professional coaches training players to do it. tell me why hingis got boo'ed against steffi graf in the french open... its legal. i think llodra just did it for laughes since he was already down.
You see it a lot actually in professional tennis, especially in ITF play. Coaches teach it too, good ones anyway.
I think you don't see it as much as you should in the elite ranks because of ignorance for mathematics and some false pride you should be able to win without it. It is similar to NFL coaches punting when the math says to go for it. The expectation of either decision is close, but the psychology of irrational and ignorant people come into play.
Also, people don't like Hingis, and really liked Graf. That is why she got booed. It wasn't unsportsmanlike on its own. A lot of misinformed people took that to mean you shouldn't serve underhand, I see it a lot with the club player mentality.
Tennis is a game of class. I think anyone with class can understand the nuance of mathematics and competition. I've never seen any intelligent player get upset with an underhand serve. You absolutely must balance your serve speed & trajectory.
he should have done it the whole match
