VERY VERY NICE VID! comment- Not only is the upper body important but notice the legs at the beginning Peter takesoff with an uneven balance weight on his legs. The two knees should bend simultaneously and lean forward at the same time. Alicia Molik has one of the most elligance serves<--search for more

The commentators comment about the elbow is just not really accurate. The reason his elbow is much higher is they paused Wessels much further into his hitting motion than Blake. If you pause the video at 20 seconds when they are both in the same part of the hitting motion you will notice there form is nearly identical. They just took two different paths to get there, both valid.

It's not close. Blake's contact point is MUCH lower than the peak of the toss compared to Wessel. The only reason it MIGHT look like Wessel's is lower, is because his contact point is lower due to his lower ball toss.
Honestly though, so many commentators are such idiots nowadays. They are SEVERELY biased and make the stupidest assumptions which are 95% wrong. I've seen a match commentated on the worst commentator I've ever heard, and it just ruined a good match for me... It just did...

nice video 5/5 stars
They failed to notice Blake's serve was on the way down as well. In fact, Wessel took his serve closer to the peak than Blake, much closer.

it is close, but i think blakes was on the way down but only slightly and less so than wessels.
