Nadal finds his serve at Wimbledon

But beginning in Marseilles at the start of this season, Nadal began concentrating heavily on his second serve and that has become so much quicker and reliable that he is now able to take more risks with his first, and that certainly made an impact on Agassi.

"His serve, first of all, it really is an awkward movement through the air, so you never get a real clean swing at it unless you're able to give it time to settle down," Agassi said.

"And if you do that, you have to back up and you're really giving him position on the court. But more than that, if you don't hit a good return, like a really good return, he's going to take hold of that first shot."

Agassi went on to describe the first serve as having "an awkward spin to it." Plus, he said, "He backs it up very well."

It's a sneaky fast serve.
