There have been great servers throughout history, but what Giovanni Mpetschi Perricard is doing is something rarely seen. This young Frenchman defies the natural trend of world tennis, a sport where specialists in serving have been disappearing. Let's delve into the details of his lethal serve.

The tennis world watches in amazement at the birth of a cannonballer like no other. No, do not be shocked. It is clear that there have been impressive servers in other eras and we have recently seen players like Isner and Karlovic basing their success on the serve. However, Giovanni Mpetschi Perricard executes the serve in a very particular way and accompanies it with a fluidity of movement from the baseline that his predecessors did not possess.

He stands at 203 centimeters and moves with extraordinary agility, knowing how to conserve energy and base everything on a serve that is impossible to read. That is one of the keys that make the Frenchman's serve a weapon of mass destruction. Giovanni tosses the ball lower than usual, it comes out powerfully from his hand, and he executes the technical motion of the serve with unprecedented precision and fluidity. He has automated the serving mechanics as if it were a large-scale production, as indicated on atptour.com.

In order for his movement to be accurate, the Frenchman has been able to develop a technique where he does not require a big leap. It is true that jumping allows for hitting the ball higher and aids in passing the body to generate more power, but the technical fluidity of Mpetschi Perricard and his arm speed are so great that he has been able to do without some height in his jump, which contributes to his stability and prevents easily losing balance, even when fatigue sets in.

One argument that has always invited optimism when facing a server is to wait for the match's progression to gradually diminish their physical freshness, which affects the serve. With Gio, this is considerably reduced, being able to serve with the same power and precision for hours due to the refined mechanics he has developed.

As if this were not enough, the confidence he holds in his serve is leading him to risk playing the second serves as if they were firsts, something that greatly undermines the morale of his competitors. While it is true that no great serving specialist has been able to dominate the circuit with an iron fist, all indications are that Giovanni Mpetschi Perricard could be a more stable and dangerous player than his predecessors, both due to his improved baseline mobility and this lethal serving technique. It will be interesting to see how far he goes in 2025.
