Serving
The more you hit up on the ball, the more height your second serve will have over the net and the deeper it will land.
Reach up, be aggressive and attack the second serve.
To get the feeling of hitting up, try to serve the ball up into the clouds. This will encourage you to explode up into the ball.
The only way you'll ever improve your second serve is to double-fault at critical times in a match. That's right - double-fault. Over time, hitting out and going for your second serve will build up your confidence in the shot.

General
Adjust the speed of your hand (racquet) to the speed of your side step.
No one ever won Wimbledon and then decided they were an awesome tennis player. First you have to believe you are the best. Only then will you win the contest.
Tennis is so easy.
Develop a great serve -
You know where the court lines are -
You know the rules -
You play your game -
You simply do your job.
And always enjoy yourself and act with dignity.
If you are not nervous you are not playing the game. Use your nerves.
JUST HIT IT!
As Andre Agassi's father used to say to him when he was a kid
"For now don't worry so much about making sure the ball lands in the court. Just relax, groove the swing, and HIT BIG!"
Inspirational
View every struggle as an opportunity for personal growth.
It is the struggle itself, not the result, that builds character.
