Looks like Roddick was already quite a way out to return, but then ended up nearly hitting one of the side boards

I remember Ljubicic hit a crazy kick serve around that time too, cant recall if it was IW or Miami though.

 

[Let_Cord]

Why didn't he step in and take it on? That's why Roddick will never win another slam. :???:

 

[niff]

The best bit is the grin afterwards You know it, pablo.

 

[Let_Cord]

Roddick's serve is much better.

 

[MichaelNadal]

That angle was crazy.

 

[aphex]

I've hit better...

 

[Let_Cord]

We all have hit better at some point. Cuevas is a random nobody. He'll be lucky to get past 1R at the FO this year. He's supposed to be good on clay.

 

[RCizzle65]

O_O WHAT THE HELL, I have never seen anything like that in my life, Roddick was already camping out in that corner! That is freakin unreal, thanks for posting that.

 

[Let_Cord]

Why was he standing so far back? How did he get a read on a kick-serve??

 

[RCizzle65]

I just watched that like 10 times in a row, I can't believe it, lol

 

[Fate Archer]

Cuevas surely has a great kick serve.

This is not as wicked as the OP, but it gives a good angle view.

That was amazing! Wow!

These guys had great kick serves, as did Becker, Rafter and McEnroe as well.

Cilic´s first serve is crap. However his second kicker is one of the best on the tour.

[Marty502]

Gonzalez once did that one to a lower-ranked American - Reynolds perhaps??

I'll find the clip.

 

[Marty502]

Found it!!

Go straight to 5:55.

Incredible serve!

Just remembered another great one from Fed:

I posted three or four years ago another kickserve against Davydenko, but on clay. Sadly, they took down the video. But it was the most inmense thing ever.

Seems like Fed has a thing with Davydenko and kickers, eh?

 

[Fate Archer]

Check out this bad boy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGA6DjCypCA&feature=player_detailpage#t=517s

Oh yeah!
He did it again at match point, though Davydenko anticipated it better.

Just recalled more goat kicks from Fed:

Fed was hitting some heavy kick serves in this match.

Do you remember the exact match? I might try to get this one too. Love Feddie's kickers.

 

[RCizzle65]

Wow Federer has some beautiful kickers, wonder why he doesn't throw it in more often?

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Do you remember the exact match? I might try to get this one too. Love Feddie's kickers.

I know exactly what Andres is talking about. It was 2007 FO SF against Davydenko in the third set tiebreak and I believe it erased a set point for Davydenko.

I see, well, I found the highlights of this particular match, but it's too bad that they go from 5-5 in the tiebreak to Davydenko serving 7-8.

It must have happened when Fed was serving 5-6 or something.

It was from the deuce side. Hope that helps. If I can find that vid, I'll let you know

More to the list of Fed's GOAT kick serves, now from this week's Wimbledon:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxDTrqv4G0#t=1m37

It doesn't matter the surface, Fed's kicker will jump up anywhere, whether it's on hard, clay or grass.

 

[wy2sl0]

Mardy was already moving outwards here. And the difference is, this kick serve was over 100mph

Raonic vs. Verdasco San Jose '11 Final

I don't have the YouTube code but I saw it this winter on YT. The serve kicked so high as to make it impossible for Verdasco to even touch it.

Fun to see Eddie Munster get midgetized again. God bless YouTube! Wonder if there are any oldie Rafter kickers circulating?

 

[Lsmkenpo]

Ryan Harrison's kick serve is very impressive.

This guy would make for an incredible doubles partner. He can move that kick serve around.

 

[chiruanna]

Cuevas was standing way to the left while serving that kick serve. Its not the normal positioning for a singles serve.

That helps with the angle. With that position you know its going to be a kick.

The first serve in this video.

 

[Fate Archer]

Fed hit a MONSTER kick serve in his first round against Kamke today.
It was very similar to the one he hit against Davydenko in the 2007 FO semi.

Kamke is not the tallest guy around but the serve exploded from the court very abruptly and kicked quite over his reach. Easily had the Isner 2nd serve top quality mark.

Curiously, I think both kick serves (the one today and the one against Davydenko in 2007) were hit on court Suzanne Lenglen.
Seems like Suzanne Lenglen takes kick serves quite well (or not, if you're the one receiving).

Edit: Just watched the kick serve from the 2007 semis again. It was on Philippe Chatrier, not on Lenglen. Disregard my comments on Suzanne Lenglen possibly helping kick serves, Roger's twist serve is just THAT awesome.
