Which Great Tennis Player Had the Weakest Serve?

While serve is a crucial aspect of tennis, some exceptional players have faced challenges in this area. One notable example is Jimmy Connors. Despite being one of the greatest players in history, Connors struggled with his serve throughout his career. His delivery was often inconsistent and lacked power, leaving him vulnerable to opponents' returns.

Connors' primary strength lay in his exceptional groundstrokes, particularly his vicious two-handed backhand. He was renowned for his court coverage, anticipation, and ability to extend rallies. However, his weak serve often hampered his performance, especially in big matches where he needed to dominate his opponents from the outset.

Despite his serving limitations, Connors achieved remarkable success on the court. He won eight Grand Slam titles, including five US Opens, and held the world No. 1 ranking for 160 consecutive weeks. He compensated for his weak serve with his exceptional return game and relentless baseline play.

In modern tennis, players rely heavily on big serves to gain an advantage. However, Connors' legacy proves that a player can overcome a weakness and still achieve greatness. His exceptional athleticism, competitive spirit, and all-court abilities made him one of the most formidable opponents in tennis history.
