tough and tight. Wav dropped the last set

@conziborg2 A 220 KMH kick serve is a huge serve. When I said big serving I mean good serving
-
@conziborg2 you said that 'he relys on big serving to see him through'. That is what I was referring to with my comments on his serve. He's serving slower than he used to, and is using more variety (more slice and different positions) rather than just serving 'big'.
-
@imavaughanstar His serve has nothing to do with him being a pusher. He is no longer an aggressive baseline player.
-
@conziborg2 I really want him to start playing again like he did against Federer in the Wimbledon 2009 final: use the body serve almost excessively, but make it 215-230 kph so nobody can get a read on it at all. In that match he put away a fair few easy games with maybe two down the tee aces on the deuce court and then two of the body serves on the advantage court.
-
@conziborg2 true in one sense but wrong in another. You're right in that he grinds it out a lot, tries to just make the opponent falter rather than produce the magic himself. FYB had a look at his gameplan in early 2010 (pretty much been the same way since then) which was to vary between slice and topspin repeatedly just trying to let the opponent fire away without a solid rhythm. However, as for his serve, his av. first serve speed has dropped to 196 kph.

wawrinka belongs in a farm cause he looks like a pig
-
@NiggeliNG I think that Roddick in the last few years has become a bit of a pusher. There is the odd match when he finds his form from the back of the court and can dictate, but most of the time now he relys on big serving to see him through
Thx man!!Great highlights...
