The “Sidek Serve” in Badminton

One of Malaysia’s contributions to the world of sports is the “Sidek serve” in badminton. The Malaysian Sidek brothers invented this innovative technique during the early 1980s.

The Sidek serve was known for causing the shuttlecock to move unpredictably, baffling both opponents and officials. While it initially gained popularity, it was later banned by the International Badminton Association. Nevertheless, Malaysia can be credited with introducing this intriguing serve to the sport.
