I just saw this video, this guy had a 2 handed racket, and serves like he was playing volleyball, strange style but good game.

It's both part of his eccentric persona to embrace something different (his brother as well, who was playing with him last year but has been injured this year), but also a big part is getting a sponsorship deal out of it with the manufacturer of the racket.

Serve is ridiculous, so much wasted energy... It does bring him waaay into the court though, haha... Any idea what his average speed is on the serve? Doesn't appear to be any faster than average.

I read about this guy way back and I remember him serving in the 120's maybe 130's.
