Andy Roddick and Chris Eubanks break down the "pitching" strategy of the greatest servers in tennis history. In this segment from the Served with Andy Roddick podcast, Andy and Chris dive deep into the mechanics and mentality that built his legendary serve. From the importance of "knee bend" and "spin margin" to why he aimed deep in the box, Andy explains why speed is actually the third most important factor in a world-class serve.

In this video:
- The Evolution of Novak Djokovic: Andy analyzes how Novak transformed his serve from a disjointed "grenade" into a clutch, top-10 weapon on the ATP tour.
- Roger Federer’s Deception: Why Federer’s ability to hit multiple spots off the same toss made him "wildly intimidating," even when he wasn't hitting 140mph.
- The "Pitcher" Mentality: How Andre Agassi and Roger Federer used varied cadences and tosses to mess with a returner’s timing.
- Deep vs. Short: Why height changes how you use the service box and why Roddick preferred hitting the back six inches.
- Whether you're a fan of tennis history or looking for tennis serve tips to improve your own game, this technical breakdown from a former World No. 1 and US Open Champion is a masterclass in pro-level strategy.
