I pretty much understand and visualize serving the serve as Federer does. That is hitting down with a slightly close racket face, but because the racket head is on the upward/forward swingpath, the ball goes forward with power and some spin.

That's just how the racket contacts the ball for the service motion. The real challenge lies in how to accelerate the racket, ie power.
