Federer, Djokovic, Williams Ease To US Open Wins

Roger Federer provided a tennis clinic both during and after his win over Dudi Sela at the U.S. Open on Thursday.

Prompted in the on-court interview after his 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory over the Israeli to give all the tennis players in the stands a few quick pointers about how to dial in their serve, Federer offered this advice.

“It all starts with a good ball toss,” he said after moving easily to the third round. “Sometime, people think it’s just the swing, but I think the ball toss creates your motion after that. You should keep your elbow high on the serve, then the better you get, the more you can use rotation and legs.”

It worked great against Sela. Federer finished with six aces in a second-round win that took only 1 hour, 17 minutes.
