Wow! What an unbelievable long serve. It has so much side spin on it that it basically spins itself backwards upon hit the other side of the table.

@Yerizzo yes, only in doubles

[Yerizzo]

So you don't have to hit it to the opposite square? Or is that just doubles?

Little more.. To make the ball return to the net one has to use the slow short serve, which is not so much used in top level (it's easy). In the slow short serve the bounce in the servers side is closer to net than in this fast short serve. Zhang just miss judged the distance of the serve (by 1-3 cm) and he missed the contact. It's not that heavy side spin but back spin which is heavy. I know this spin though I had chance to return similar in the WC 2006 against WR 51 player from Singapore.

The ball would have gone over the edge without the wind effect. This is so called fast short serve where the bounce on servers side is quite near the baseline of the server and the aim is to make it hard for the opponent to put back short. Heavy spin makes the ball harder to control concerning especially distance and the rapid bounces makes the opponent to hurry to the net and controlling short is more difficult when moving fast (one wants to take the short return just before the highest point).
