How is Rafa's serve ?

In 2022 I felt like it was better than during 2021 clay season but at the same time it used to be better during the past 3 years. What do you think about his serve during RG, and right now in Hurlingham ? Has it gotten back to normal ? I can't see him winning Wimbledon without being completely 100% on the serve

at RG, it sucked but on grass exo, it looked better but still due to his Numbed out foot, he was up and down,, sometimes serving great and sometimes just spinning it in

Thanks. I really doubt it had anything to do with the numbed foot though

it was clear in that he sometimes can't push up and out into the serve because of his left foot today. hes not the same guy, that foot is only like 50%

Okay. Cross my fingers it gets better

On the other hand he served more aces that I often see him do.
He has had issues with his serve attributable to the change of surface as has been spoken about recently by his coach. Not to do with his foot.

Its amazing about rafa that with that serve he won all that, he is very effective with it tough

You have to take into account that Nadal is trying to do more with his serve which is why he’s at the 50% range quite often. He’s less satisfied with getting it into play. AO22 was the perfect example of that.

I would hope he makes progress on his serve before the tournament starts.
