"Well I try to make the same toss whether I hit the ball out wide, up the "T," or at the body—I use the same toss. Sometimes you can tell, when a guy tosses the ball up high you can tell where he’s going to go. So I’m really trying to disguise it, toss it the same way, and decide at the last second where it’s gonna go so my opponent doesn’t read it."

Benjamin Becker on the keys to making his serve illegible. Becker served 31 aces in his first round win over Robby Ginepri.

The amazing thing to me

is that Becker is 5’10". These days, virtually all of the big-serving players are at least a couple of inches taller, and of course there are some guys who are MUCH taller.

I’m built almost exactly like Becker, but needless to say, I can’t quite serve like that…:)

Also, cheese.
