Steffi Graf Serve Topspin/Slice

Steffi Graf Serve Topspin/Slice:  By 1996, Steffi was hitting a topspin serve as much on her second serve as her first serve.  It would make a real difference in the 1966 US Open Final where Seles had a hard time handling it.  From 90-93, Seles hadn't seen much of this serve.  She was more used to Steffi's slice serve, a more attackable version of Steffi's second serve.  The topspin serve was a much different challenge, with a high bounce that took the ball out of Seles' strike zone.  Seles' return was not very potent that day in large part due to Steffi's new shot.  US 1996
