Have you ever wanted to serve like a Serbian star? Well now you can...or at least read about how to serve like
Ana Ivanovic.
The New York Times' Play magazine has a great
piece by
TENNIS magazine's
Peter Bodo (most likely the shortest piece he's ever written) that takes you through the reasons why the 20-year old has such a solid serve. He interviews her coach
Sven Groeneveld and the recently un-retired baller
Brenda Schultz-McCarthy about the the Serb's strengths and the aspects of developing a consistent service motion.
The piece is accompanied by a
video of
Ana serving and an engaging animated step-by-step instructional (above) of a faceless
Ana doing what she does best. It's pretty cool.
