Yeah - he was never convinced he should flick it which was interesting to see.

"I have such an advantage on every service.... I don't know which one to do" 😂

That is brutal! 😂

Has anyone checked on @Dan since then...... (I feel the inside out forehand made up for everything!)

That arm with the toss is awfully suspect.

Haha imagine how tough that would be! I wonder how much you'd actually improve too? Aha

Maybe in a parallel universe it happened so we would find out, because it sure didn't happening here! 😅

Stop holding back, Dan and play penhold!

Now this is not a bad idea at all!

Hahaha career ending stuff! Well, not that there was much career to begin with! 😁

I have just realised Dima's game is so elegantly ol'skool. No tutti-fruity modern chiquitas or strawberry stuff. Just pushes, blocks, both wing drives, FH loops and smashes. The stuff all of us in the amateur circle are able to do easily. Dima is truly the quintessential the type Everyday Joe player can identify with.

 

[Zezima]

What makes his serve so good? Is it the downspin or the sidespin or both? Dan had a hard time but dane could return it "easily"

 

[Yuomay]

his serves are probably this good because of training hehe.


Placement
Speed
Spin
Deception

And then the pressure of having to return with quality since he kills every loose ball with such precision.


And also most people are not so much used to tomahawk serves.

I also saw the Dane put some in the net though
