Wimbledon News: Nick Kyrgios's serve is unstoppable

His entire strategy has been built around this deadly weapon, which frequently determines his fate on the court.

It's simple to understand why he has angered people so badly over the years when you examine how he uses his serve.

Mindset and Methods

On the tennis court, Nick is renowned for being incredibly carefree and easygoing.

This causes him to come up with amazing plays that many elite players could not think to imagine trying, but it can also land him in trouble if he is not giving it his all when the going gets tough.

Despite this, Nick has the ability to get himself pumped up and string together a few quick service games with his powerful serving and commanding groundstrokes when the mood strikes.

It goes without saying that his serve greatly influences how he feels on the court. Generally speaking, Nick is performing well if he is serving well.

He trusts himself to come up with bombs under pressure and has a lot of confidence in his serve.

Nick has served himself out of trouble countless times because he has such complete faith in his serve.

This is made easier by the quick service action, which is not only fluid and mechanically sound but also doesn't allow Nick a lot of time to consider the circumstances.

In no time at all, he will finish his duties and put the matter to rest.

Additionally, Kyrgios has demonstrated his ability to escape the difficulty by launching some enormous second serves.

In the final set tie break against Denis Kudla in 2018, he saved a match point with a 133MPH ace... on his second serve!

Nick enjoys serving with a big or small swing. 

Weight Transfer

When analyzing Nick Kyrgios' serve in greater technical detail, it is evident that he shifts a significant amount of weight from his front to his back leg to help him drive up into the ball.

This produces a lot of force and is a crucial component of Nick's serve's strength.

As he first leans forward onto his front foot during the preparation phase of his serve, Nick is able to produce a rocking motion.

Then, as he throws the ball up, Nick puts both of his feet together while bending both of his knees.

He is able to produce strength from his feet together in a "pinpoint" stance once more thanks to this.

He can push off the ground with explosive energy since both of his legs are together and bent, which enables him to jump higher into his serve and make contact at a higher trajectory.

His height of 6'4" already gives him a significant advantage.
