    I posted it because he is the best server of all time, esp. with a 6'1" height, in his shoes, a feat no medium tall guy will ever duplicate again. His rpms were the highest other than Philopoussis.

    I like this side view, which really shows: how much he coils forwards, how much he lags the drop, how much he raises his front hip out over the baseline, how far forward the contact is in front of the baseline, how he faces the back fence with his chest, yet still looks forward at the toss in front, how low the leg drive dips down. It's easy to see the double circle here:
