Why Serena Williams’ Serve Dominates Tennis
Her dad taught them how to serve by throwing footballs. Yes, Richard Williams gave them footballs and had them throw them thousands of times! I think it was genius that he realized that it’s the exact same motion.
Fun fact it was mama Oracene who coached Serena on her serve..
When I tried to do this with players at a club I worked at anf some of the other pros snickered and laughed, those bros work somewhere else now.
@@shakyelarnold7392fun fact, Serena based her service motion on the way Pete Sampras serves.
@@shakyelarnold7392was gonna say this! I saw a RUclips vid showing one of her coaches when she was a little girl, saying that he’s the reason her serve is so good. I’m like wasn’t it truly Oracene?? She taught her how to do her wrist flick thing to change the direction in disguise. Her mama is the secret behind that good serve.
Her service motion is insanely consistent and absolutely perfect...
Steroids
White fragility
Martin Balber huh?
Best in WTA, her sister's isn't bad either.
Serena's service alone isn't good enough anymore in slamfinals.
I greatly appreciate the scientific dissection of Serena's game. It is one thing to observe her in action at her best, but a very different thing to gain a greater understanding of how she does it. Thank you Science Insider.
Performance enhancing drugs
@ you again, you comments are becoming quite stale. Tell the truth now, its all because you are totally obsessed with Serena isn't it?
@Elisha Another troll, why do you people even bother, it makes not 1 iota of difference what you say/imply about Serena, she is a multimillioneer. All these comment show is how ignorant and despicable you are.
@@jamtalawah2231 SW is the only player in history to call the police to evade drug testers and hide in a panic room. SW is a disgrace!
@Elisha yeah a man who has given birth to a baby haha you're so funny
Even Roger Federer said that he had a hard time reading her serve when they last year played in the Hopman Cup.
Wii Sports tennis is intense
Fat boi
Hey I’m gonna say this again but imagine getting hit by one of Serena’s serves.
Samthesalvaje no but see high school boys have hurt me enough , I’ll try Serena’s serve. Thanks.
Samthesalvaje oh gurl I ain’t chose no body the guys in my school are just jerks in general
Samthesalvaje this is...funny.
Torpedo Of Truth amen😂
Samthesalvaje what high school boys have you played with? Only a professional male player can serve faster than her
Can you imagine if she had Venus' height?!
Xiao Chiao oh my goodness! Unstoppable!
@@tiffanylyons4474 Or she might not have felt the need to work so hard on her serve.
Lol! Could you magine if they didn't cheat
@B M-Y steroids freak
She'd be slower. She's already a huge woman so being tall as well would only hamper her movement.
Y’all not to brag but my coach told me to practice Serena’s serve. it’s what I did all summer and Let me tell y’all. I literally won my games with just my serve. I got my opponents off guard by using top spin and a slice serve when they least expect it😂
That's not a brag, that's good coaching. Serena said she studied Pete Sampras' serve.
Basically she hits like a volleyball player
Her experience, good health, and strength best ever tennis player.
Best female player behind naetina
0:39 mild cringe of calling the baseline the service line

Some people call it the service line since that’s where the server stands. But yeah, it’s the baseline haha.
@@soxandthecity Well it is..... you serve from the baseline, you can't stand in the box to serve nor on the line so it's the service line
....nobody calls the baseline the service line. What are yall talking about?
@@jproxursoxoff Yet the foot fault is called on the service line😂😂
The serve is faultless ..simple technique but so damn effective
Serena and LeBron James had a kid it would be the most dominant athlete ever
@@user-oo7zd1kz2t you must be joking
@@user-oo7zd1kz2t LMAO I said dominant not flopper
@@user-oo7zd1kz2t LeBron was homeless growing up.
R9 no... Messi would be a better substitute. He’s really the greatest
R9 well... Messi isn’t a rapist so.... I think Messi is the better option. Cristiano is all fucked up in the head.
I love Serena Williams
She can't hear you or read it.
Yeah we've seen you bashing plenty of women's players. Of course you're a Serena fan :)
How do you, as a fan, feel about her outbursts and attitude?
Umpire: Williams to serve
Opponent: *sweats profusely*
Serena and Lebron Should have a child. How strong will the kid be.
Her husband has the necessary genes too.
@@seunosewa prime genomes would be unstoppable in sports
Athlete of the decade💯
Seun nah he’s white. That won’t make it no better.
Seun not quite
Dominated tennis for over 10 years? Sorry? It's almost 2 decades...
Serene, Queen of Tennis!
Queen of steroids
Up to it hi hi hi
Haterssss stay maddd
Queen??? Try King..
@@xxzz3706 yes you got it shadoperva a queen of steroids.bingo!
Serena serve is amazing no doubt. But to put her in a leauge without acknowledge venes is disrespectful. Ve us Serve is literally the fastest serve in the game. So when talk about Serving you must acknowledge Venus serve as well
Actually that record was broken a couple of years ago by Sabine Lisicki unfortunately (. Venus has a faster but not as reliable serve as Serena. What is even more impressive is the height difference. Venus is 6 '1" Serena is 5 '9". And it's very difficult to read Serena's serve. All that makes it the BEST ever female serve in history... That's why they were focusing on her and not to the girls that serve harder then her...
Krasi Yanev well that has an Asterisk in it as everyone was serving fast during that event.
Kaaun Hall venus’ motion has a lot of technical issues specially her ball toss. It may be fast but not that reliable.
White Power Moron you really love trolling her don’t you? Show me credible proof from any testing agency that Serena or Venus ever tested positive for any illegal substances...we do know that the dope queen Maria was caught, fined and banned for doping.
@@jobuck879 your comment shows your just not too bright
This looks familiar... *Deja vu I've just been in this place before*
I live near Flushing Meadows which is the home of the US Open. I go there to see Mets games
She totally commits on every serve.
She's just better than all of them‼She's a top 5 athlete of all time. ALI Jordan Serena Tiger & Lebron. Global icons‼👉🏽🐐
If it were for me I would watch this video every damn second
Me too...love it
Exactly. Videos like this give an insight into why she’s so successful. But the other players are more focused on their style of play than accuracy and chance of winning.
I only saw her once when she was arguing with the referee while the young girl won and a meme of her with another player. it's great to know. she is incredible athlete
As your name says Keep Smiling
Please, with due respect, stop mentioning Maria Sharapova in one sentence. Maria was on roids for long ten years. She has polluted tennis. The 2004 is the only grand slam she won while clean. Please show respect for Serena.😇
THANK YOU.
SO INTERESTING!!!!! Brings a new level of amazement for the GOAT
She's really good at what she does.
Augmented Four why are u replying to every comment is it because ur jealous u piece of shit
Pretty good,I wouldn't say really good because although most people are dumb as a box of rocks their are those of us who are completely aware that "it" (Serena) is a dude.
@@NDRAMSMOOTH ....
@@NDRAMSMOOTH idiot
Serena serves scare me, and I’m not playing her! Lol!
❤️
Facts her serves are deadly! The girls try to imitate it but it never gets it!
SERENA WILLIAMS BRAVO 👏🏼 G.O.A.T 👸💯☝️🗯 GREATEST FEMALE TENNIS PLAYER IN THE WORLD 🌎
Haha.. thats a fucken dude!!! And an ugly one at that
Love her! She's worked so hard!👏👏👏
Lol! Steroids and threatening lineswomen
She has worked hard and diligent. Am so proud of her.
But hate to loose Not good huh! See how she brake her racket all her beautiful strength winner drop down to nothing because personality drop my opinion.
@@Koinokami we all have bad days, even althetes. She's human.
@@Koinokami what professional competitive athlete loves to lose?? Every single player hates to lose. How many times have you heard the runner up of a grand slam say “I am happy to lose”?? What an idiotic thing to say.
I think science Insider saw the dumb poll where men think they could return her serve.
Serena is a beast 🔥
I love the sexual tension beast mode of this pretty woman
@ You are either not bright or a troll looking for a reaction, because, any person with half a brain knows that there is no way Serena would dope and still be allowed to play. She is tested more than any other player in tennis, she does not dope period, she is just a superior athlete and people like you are mad. The same can't be said for Sharapova who was actually found doping. So have a whole stadium of seats with that foolishness.
@Merita merita Name another player that called the cops and hid in a panic room to avoid being caught for doping? Cant wait 4 your response. Lol!
@ You are a dedicated follower of Serena aren't you? That the only conclusion I can draw from the fact that you are always there whenever she is mentioned. Kinda sad how pitiful and pathetic you are.
@ when has Serena williams ever doped up 😂. You sound like a fool.
The best serve in women tennis history as well as the best player hands down!!! Actually, I think it’s time for Serena to call it a career. She just a shell of what she was and that’s understandable. The window has closed on the 24th grand slam title, and the record 23 in the open era will stand a long time. So, just forget the 24 won by Margret Court because there’s no comparison with the competition Serena faced.
Reminds me of magnus Carlsen in chess. Just a joy to watch people succeed and be great.
Too bad robots will soon do everything better than us mere humans. Tennis playing ai robot? Perfect score everytime.
But there's a way sideways.
Still awesome this video, my grandmomn used to love tennis
LOL, robots can't even open a door yet, let alone play tennis.
That body tho... damn!!!!
BODY OF A MAN
Typical African: not interested in the science or the statistics, just looking at ass.
Ishmael Cato That Racist But Okay lol
Right? The body of a man for sure
Two of my favorite things: Science and tennis!!!! ❤
Sharapova should have hired a physicist to study serena's serve and game
I appreciate this video, Thanks for the lesson.
Free tutorial. The Most studied female player of all, so far.
What differentiates her from the other top female players (including her syster) is physical strenght.
Not only that!...Placement, topspin...
No.
She benefits from facing mostly weak opponents.
In contrast, steffi graf faced much better HOF competition. And, steffi maintained a higher career winning percentage.
That's why steffi is the GOAT.
@@bradhuskers Graff record is fraudulent
@@jayslayanimations6070
You're a low IQ idiot.
Serena has the most beautiful, graceful moves.
Very interesting video, but there is NO WAY that Serena averages ONLY 2.5 fewer double faults per match than SHARAPOVA. Sharapova ROUTINELY hits 10+ double faults per match, sometimes MUCH higher. Serena routinely hits 5 or fewer, obviously a couple of mild outliers but even 5 is considered high for her. I’d like to see a citation or source for their calculation, bc it sounds DEAD WRONG.
Very good analysis on the serving technique of S.Williams. By the way @2:05, this person has not played tennis until yesterday xD... anybody can ace her, let alone Serena
Great to see vids on sport, really interesting
That's why she is the champion winner
HE'S A MAN... WITHOUT A WEINER
Emm Pedno you are a woman without a vagina
cool video thank you for sharing👏👏👏🌷🌷😘
Now I know her mom helped bring that serve to fruition!🙌🏿
One additional thing she uses is a longer racket. That provides more leverage than the standard racket.
Shoutout to Serena
She’s insane😍😍
Thats not nice to say!!!
Elwood Jones it’s a good thing .....
Merita merita it’s a good thing you dumbass
Serena Power Williams💪❤💙
The fact that people try to say like Margaret court is the GOAT lol how laughable 🤣
@Elisha thats like saying wilt chlamberlain is better than michael because he has 12 rings to jordans 6 everyone knows serena is the greatest to ever do it
@Elisha Have you ever seen Margaret Court? Suggest you look her up, then come back with your comments!
@Elisha so you basically calling Bianca a man...
Her service was not working today lol (vs Bianca at the US open)....
Very clever.."Captain Obvious".. 😆
Phenomenal ❤️
It’s called a Kick Serve, not topspin serve.
Why'd they compare her to that steroid dog...she can't hold a candle to Serena
Marion Jones Lance Armstrong
SW is a fraud
@@jumaanerobinsonsr5736 yes she does. Its already been proven
@Marko Jay because steroid dog only had a chance if she cheated....dirty steroid DOG
@Marko Jay proves she's been taking them since young...think about it...or maybe she was never really that good to begin with
It's not just serve... everything else in her game
She still doesn’t know how to lose soo...
IDonT GoTAGuN exactly the last match she “lost” was because she got injured while playing .
She doesn't need to since she is not used to.
Despite last year's indecent behaviour at US open she has lost with full sportmanship a lot of grand slam finals in the recent years (2 times with Kerber, 1 with Muguruza, 1 with Halep)
Shame jealous cause no millions in your bank or prospect of winning a tournament that’s why you on this old stuff ?
@@xolaxola110 This old stuff is still unresolved. I guess that for you nothing has happened or everything was justified. There are people for whom indecent behaviour remains indecent also with millions in the bank (how can the millions be important though?)
SERENA WILLIAMS!
she never doped as well wow what a beautiful fairy tail
xzz waiting on this proof of doping since all players are tested?🧐
@@stepht.9391 is they bust her it will be massive loss for the tennis sport and no one wants that it is too much money involved
So....basically your own delusions? Ahh ok. Got it!
@Ctrl Gamers so was lance Armstrong. I mean do you really think she is full clean lol no one at that level is in any sport today
xzz ahhh so because one guy was doing it, they are all doing it?😂 Ok. Say no more.
This isn't about race but duh..When you have genetics and passion-you can be the best. Her sister is good too.
@Torpedo Of Truth If you have taken literally any history class you would know thats not true.
Amazing serve, and amazing body wow.
G.O.A.T.
love the music 1:50
So Serena is scientifically phenomenal.
Did we ever discuss grip? Or the position or height of the toss? Sharapova tosses way too high so here swing is slower. Serena tosses lower and more in front. Lots of other physics not discussed. Lame Oh
Serve was the worst part of her game today. Canada dominates her.
Leland Judsyn sadly
@Ishmael Cato this old woman has made it to 4 consecutive finals...Her body is not what has let her down...Her mentality is what has caused her 4 GS titles.
@Ishmael Cato I've been an athlete all life....I came out the womb running. Serena is clocking out mentally during finals period.
Not here to argue...just stating the obvious. You can't compare Serena to any player that has ever played the game. She's a living legend.
@@christine0513 Yes her spoiled brat outbursts , cheating with coach hints and bullying people. Seeing her finally get her ass kicked was legendary. Teaching kids to starve themselves with vegan diet is bad all around. She like an uber villan. Sad to see her retire before reaching the records she wanted to break. 3rd time Biancana destroys her she gonna hang up the racket. She can't take being a loser.
Serena Williams serve is as powerful as a Mike Tyson punch
after 10 years of studying Serena's serve, I now get it... I need to have my nails manicured!
why does yao ming have two chins at 1:03?
Let the haters say AMEN.
Sharapova would Serena if Serena wasn't performance enhanc.... Oh
Yes. Her serve is almost as good as the male players at your local tennis club.
Not every man can beat serrena get your facts right you will never beat her
So incredible!!
Just amazing Serena. 😍💗🙏
Despite the serve Serena was broken more often than Evert, Court or Graf.
Very quality video
5:03 my guy was on the wrong side to receive that
Damn did y'all really dissect this girl play.
Not to ruin it, but I’ll ruin it anyway. Federer’s serve is the greatest.
Tylar people think that Serena Williams is the greatest tennis player ever, she isn’t, she is the greatest women’s tennis player ever. Serena would probably get beat by a Division 2 Tennis player and a professional male tennis player would absolutely destroy her. People think that men and women should be the same. I oppose in the sense that there are biologically and psychological differences between men and women. We should treat men and women equally, at the same time, recognize the differences.
Augmented Four for the intelligence part, women are in control of the middle of the bell curve while men are more prominent in the extremes
@Augmented Four DUMB MENTALITY!!!!! Ignorance is bliss!!!!!
The legend serena...will win more grandslams...sure...u kno y..
Becoz her coach Patrick gives more confidence on her.....
Serena patterns here serve after Pete Sampras
Superb athlete.
Mullet Korean had me laughing
“Williams to serve !” 😂😂😂😂
Not today Bianca schooled her for the second time.
last year naomi did the same.
Serena has 23 grand slams. How many does Bianca have? Greatest female tennis players: Serena!!!!
@@HelloWorld1947 she still beat Serena though. that's all counts there.
a 500 ranked male player can beat Serena with ease. she is nothing special.
@@parthsavyasachi9348 Why are you comparing men and women's tennis? The reason men would beat her is due to biological advantages beyond her control.
@@kingsbury5259
because people are made to apologize for mentioning it.
PS: youtube removed my link to McEnroe clip where he was asked to apologize. So reposting the comment without the link.
No no no no, you got it all twisted. Serena William is the best in the world and better than any male playing the racket ever existed. There is a difference. :) #Thumbsupforyouserena
He said ‘sport’ like ‘spa’
They really ignored the most important aspect.
What is that?
@@alexjones28 that she's serving to women. They kept saying "tennis" like it was a "general rule".
Look up Pete Sampras. Serena has always said she modeled her serve on his. It was just as lethal as Sampras too. Sampras served to men and was deadly good. Serena serves to women and is the same. Same serve, two different players, same result. That result is greatness. Gender doesn’t really have anything to do with it.
Have a look at Serena's elbow position.
Lot of coaches faffing about and say it must not be too low.
Maybe need to rethink that one 🤔 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks.
G. O. A. T 🐐
Serena is amazing but her serve doesnt dominate rennis. It dominates womens tennis but not tennis. Isners serve dominates tennis. He has a record of 200kmph
You missed the point or you just didn't watch the video.
Because her testosterone lvls are of the chart, but yet natural.
*WILLIAMS TO SERVE*
Venus 💛
Her body has the power of Mike Tyson
Yeah bc she a DUDE!
These types are never legit without a physicist
it must be terrifying facing her
She got enormous strength comparable to atp standard..
Not anymore! LMAO!!! Congrats Bianca!!!
Oh does Bianca have 23 grand slams
