This was taken 4 years after Michael Chang at 15 held the same court during the Transamerica Qualifiers He fell to a journeyman in the final round, but the next year made the main draw - and won the whole at Tournament! Amazing.
I played the Transamerica Open pre-qualifying at this club around 1986. That was the pro tourney that used to be at the SF Cow Palace but later moved to San Jose (in the arena). Also had my junior teams play Courtside's jr teams in the 90's. Man, time flies!
Had you played a year later, you could have played or seen Michael Chang at the 1987 TransAmerica Open qualifiers at Courtside Club. I happened to watch the qualifiers in center and adjacent court. Who is this kid? Just 15 at the time, and running everything down and running opponents ragged. I kept returning to watch all his matches. One opponent simply gave up, not even trying to run for the court-court pass. Literally. But the experienced 30+ yo journeyman player beat Chang in the finals. Of course, we know what happened one year later! Too bad I didn't take videos of Chang qualifiers! Here's the short version of Tanner's explosive serve. Enjoy. ruclips.net/video/se2f5q4ewUI/видео.html
@@CahalanTennis Nice! I was in the tourney with other Foothill players. I played on the sunken court & exited early due to a groin pull and bad ankle. It was fun for us local college players to play those pre-qualy tourneys. I sat in Jim Courier's seats with a friend when he played Michael Chang in San Jose in the 90's. Courier was winning until someone yelled out, "Chang is a wimp!" Chang aced Courier on the next service & pointed up at the person, then went on to win the match.
The perfect Vic Braden serve the way he would teach it the secret no stopping in the throwing motion ball toss just high enough . Great kit from the 90s miss those days thanks for the upload.
No. Vic thought Roscoe was definitely the most biomechanically efficient server in tennis, but there are slight difference between Vic’s ideal model and Tanner’s serve.
Peach Bottom, as in Peach Bottom BWR nuclear reactor? I resolved startup issues with my control system enhancement around 1974 for the stream turbine pressure control system.
Peach Bottom BWR still running? They were huge. Each with four 30” Dia high pressure steam lines at 1050 psi and 2.2 lb/cu ft., causing streamline resonance that I resolved via electronic compensation. I walked along one segment during startup. 20 ft tall streamline stop valves. Control room just like in The China Syndrome. My intro to the real world (vs competer simulation)
lol. A multiple pro title holder and grand slam champion but you decided to cite a college tennis loss! Bizarre thinking. He also lost in the QF of the Podunk junior Kmart under 12 tournament 60 years ago.
His serve is wonderful to watch he makes it look so easy ..
i use simular technique and my serve became much better. there is another possibility : shoulder rotation , knee bend, but it is much more difficult
I always liked this guy

There will always be differences vic always mentions Roscoe 👍
@@BDASS-o6l well you’re the one who claimed it was “perfect”. I talked about Roscoe’s serve with Vic - and his analysis of it a quite a bit.
@@datacipher Vic thought , that Pancho Gonzalez had most effektive serve. Pancho had just little higher toss
Natural entertainer!
oh man.. I knew from the those early days. Rosco Tanner. Was like the Goran Ivanaswick the big Croatian server. '
Roscoe still had a monster serve at 40, as shown at the clinic. I think this video is the only one showing his serve close up with modest resolution.
Roscoe today -70

Leconte had a similar serve to Tanner.
