Tsitsipas better serve motion

Have to commend this guy and his team: Tsistipas is not falling off to the left on his serve nearly as much as he did even 1 month ago. Big improvement!

Dimitrov still hasn't made this correction.
Yes, I noticed it too.

There is still room for improvement but atleast now he can handle deep returns straight at him better.

Also with further improvement he can be in good position to employ S&V tactic, he is okk at net, best among next Gen and most eager to go at the net of that lot. He kind of holds back on this strategy since he is aware of his technical flaw and whenever he tries to employ S&V, he is out of position many times. A more balanced serve finish will definitely help with that.

His Serve out wide on the advantage court is already a killer, if he somehow manages to improve more in not falling over left, Expect his Down the T serve to improve as well.

A little more serve improvement and I think we'll start seeing some grand slams from this guy in the near future...

He also increased the efficiency on his FH, not taking his racquet head back as much.

I especially noticed this at Madrid, IDK if this is specifically a clay court thing or what, but the shot still has plenty of penetration so I think the change is all good.

Still surprised Stef hasn't won a major yet. Feel like the key to his serve is keeping that left shoulder up as long as possible, delaying the uncoil a bit, and then firing into the ball.

Definitely see the serve return as the biggest area of improvement right now.

He's already a favourite for the FO and will be a big one for wimbledon.
True, he's so good on clay that it would surprise nobody if he beat Djokovic at Roland Garros.
Would surprise and shock everyone if he beat Nadal though.
