Naomi's "Sick Kick"

One of the top Bollettieri future pro prospects is Naomi Totka, a 15 year old lefty from Hungary who has tremendous athletic qualities. She demonstrates her unbelievable deuce side kicker that dive bombs the sideline just 7 feet beyond the net. On the ad side she has a wicked slice that slides off the court as well. We've worked together for about 3 years spending large amounts of time developing her spin capabilities to help her capitalize most on being left-handed. Interestingly, the serve was her biggest weakness just 3 years ago...but now... it's likely her biggest strength as a result of hard work .

@TMcCaughan being a lefty myself, I don't know why she's hitting to the sideline. that's right to a right handers forehand. I used to dial in my deuce side serve to go right down the middle, to their backhand.

@tyoungos I probably wouldn't hit the target every single time, but if someone is cheating the T then this serve will catch them off guard and probably produce a soft return. So this serve definitely needs to be used when its not expected to produce the best results

"Just need to put in the time"...Yes, that is the truth and it's what puts great distance between champions and the rest of us.

@Sahadi420 The reason she's practicing serves to the righty forehand is to push the righty out wide with the serve, which exposes the right's backhand, thus allowing her to dominate the point by going to the righty's backhand over and over again during the rally ala rafa. This is a great strategy, especially in the women's game where most points are won during rallies, so well done to the Serve Doctor!

@Camteh12 If she was hitting a slice serve would fade right after the bounce. Watch again and pay attention to where the ball fades after the bounce. She has an ideal kick serve.
