It is very noticeable in this Australian Open that Nadal has changed both his stance (feet wider apart) and his takeback (less direct takeback, arm more extended, racquet tip more vertical). Bottom line it looks more like Fed serve motion. How do these quite important changes happen at this level ? Is it managed by a serve specialist, or just uncle Nadal ? Do pros copy each other to perfect their strokes ? What do you think of these changes ? It looks he's been making more double-faults recently, is it linked to this work in progress ? Anyway, congrats to Nad for taking risks to improve his game.
