I agree with you that having less different serves makes it easier for you to know all the kinds of balls that can come back from it. So you can prepare better for your third ball attack.
Then on the other hand pros have such deceptive serves that its very hard to distinguish those.
That you can only see them doing one or two serves speaks for their great deception.
The serve might look the same but pros have such amazing control over their serve that they can vary the amount of spin put on the ball from 0%,10%,20%...up to 100% with the same motion. And even put on different spins with different contact points of the swing.
I am not talking bout the degree/level of spin in one serve, but i am talking about the variety of serves, like topspin serve, side-spin, non spin, backspin, or backhand style serve, pendulum serve,...etc, what i see from those top players and i mentioned top 3-4 that it is one kind of serve and they just control the level of spin in it or placement, but not different making kind of serves.
