Anderson is not the only player who takes advantage of his height to create a master serve. At 6’8″, Anderson serve comes at a trajectory different than most other players. Even with that height, Anderson leans into the court to use his weight and forward motion to propel the ball down. He has even been known to clear the back wall on a service ace.
