Best Kick Serve

[chuckmckool]

Which pro has the best kick serve?

 

[mattyc]

it was rafter

 

[punch]

Roddick....the only one who can handle it consistently is, yes you guessed it, Fed.

 

[djsiva]

Stich, edberg, rafter

 

[Crisp]

Yes i agree it was pat rafter definitely. Edberg is up there.

 

[Alexandros]

Roddick amongst current male players. Serena or Alica Molik among the women (though not many of them can hit a kick serve to begin with).

 

[desilvam]

Edberg and Rafter..

 

[Shaolin]

Lube has a great one. Roddick also. Feds is awesome (remember those 2nd serve kick aces he had against Zib et al on YouTube?) Of course Rafter and Edberg, they used their kick to come to net behind so it had to be wicked.

I wouldnt want any part of a Karlovic kick coming at me, or Isner either.

Probably about 12 million other players I havent mentioned.

i never really thought of that. but you're right - i can't really think of any women who consistently hit kick serves. i would think it would be a pretty effective serve - first or second - for women on the WTA.

Sampras...for velocity

 

[theace21]

Edberg - high arch, big kick

 

[Phil]

Sampras' was the best in history. Other great ones worth mentioning are Rafter, Roddick, Philippousis, Edberg, Becker.

 

[ckthegreek]

Sampras without a shadlow of a doubt. 2nd serve kick was amazing.

Baghy also has a great kick but doesn't use it enough.

Don't watch the WTA much, but if I recall correctly Henin throws in some pretty strong kick serves

 

[Rickson]

Which pro has the best kick serve?

ATM, Roddick and Federer, but before he retired, Agassi had a pretty mean kick serve. Moya also has a pretty good second serve. Nadal has a good slice serve, but I don't recall seeing many kick serves from him.
