#4 Sam Stosur
She was once World No. 4 and may have since dropped in the rankings, but Australian ace Samantha Stosur is a force to be reckoned with. Proficient in both the singles and doubles, Stosur has perhaps the best kick serve in the business.
What’s a kick serve, you might ask.
There are many ways to serve in tennis, and the kick serve is one of them. It’s key in outfoxing opponents, keeping them guessing and on their feet, and Stosur does this in spades.
Her serve is fast, and it is powerful – but the key to just how successful it is is in the placement. Stosur’s serve often forces her opponent out wide, and the spin adds more unpredictability that helps Stosur win.
She is considered among the fittest players on tour, and the physicality of Stosur’s serve is testament to just that.
