A bizarre tennis serve technique, halfway between overarm and underarm, strikes again

The underarm serve and its legitimacy continues to be a divisive issue in tennis, but on Tuesday in French Open qualifying, tennis fans were again treated to its even stranger cousin.Step forward Zsombor Piros, the world No. 175 from Hungary, who once more used his bizarre serving tactic to outfox an opponent. First seen by the wider tennis public in a Davis Cup tie against Austria in September, Piros used the serve at an arguably bigger moment, down set point in the first set of his first-round qualifying match against Portugal’s Henrique Rocha.Advertisement
