The Dutch Big Server

Nimir Abdel-Aziz, born in The Hague, began his career as a setter before switching to opposite, where his size and power made him a big scorer. He is famous for one of the most powerful jump serves in volleyball, winning many aces.

A jump serve is struck high in the air while moving forward, giving speed and a steep angle, though powerful servers risk more service errors. Nimir has starred in Italy's SuperLega, often among the league's top scorers.

He represents the Netherlands, whose men won Olympic gold at Atlanta 1996. Height lets opposites like Nimir hit over the block, and his serving can change the momentum of a set in just a few points.
