Vemic Wants To Be The Complete Player

If he could, Dusan Vemic would trade his signature powerful serve for a complete game and the ability to win matches. Vemic was clocked as high 146 miles per hour at the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells, California.

"That's not as important as winning matches," Vemic said. "I would serve 120 (to) win every match I play.

His coach Dennis Ralston -- who has coached numerous champions including Chris Evert -- tends to agree with him. "(H)e started to play like he has to play if he wants to keep going. He started making returns," Ralston said. "That's the main thing. If he wants to go further, he has to do that, because he's always going to serve well."

Vemic is from Serbia and his countryman, Grand Slam champ Novak Djokovic was sitting at courtside watching his match.
