I would agree with hat and as Jim also mentioned, it's not so much a service problem, it's a problem with his second serve in general.
Denis lands his first serve at a decent enough clip and wins those points at a high level. Something changes when he gets into that second serve....maybe tactically he just needs to go flatter with it as opposed to always trying to hit out wide?
EDIT: Diving deeper, it looks like he is only really not performing well when second serving to ad court, which may be a lefty thing he needs to figure out.
