Analysing ATP Tennis Players' One-Handed Backhands! 

ICYMI: analysing ATP stars' forehands here 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kmwzGXRen3s.html

This is the one video Zverev can’t put himself in.

Stan puts his whole body into it. The most solid backhand, both on technique and effectiveness, that I've seen. He's the one guy whose backhand you don't want to attack.

The Wawrinka backhand is seriously pleasing to watch More “analysing” videos please!

Stan's backhand is so clean omg !!🔥

Thiem and Stan have the best one handed backhands in my opinion. Federers backhand stroke isn’t as deadly but because of his sheer ability to strike the ball it is just as effective.

Should have discussed the variation in spin that Thiem uses with his backhand, he uses it both as a looping shot (especially on clay) and flattens it out beautifully for winners down the line

Wawrinka is one of my favorite players to watch, largely because of that rocket backhand. The fact that he was able to develop his forehand to such ridiculous levels during his mid-2010s peak was so pleasing to watch.

I must say, the one-handed backhand is something special to watch. Of course they end the video with the Dominator 🤗

Shapos backhand is honestly the most fun for me to watch. Something about a one handed jack knife is just so beautiful to watch.

On handed jump backhand of shapolov is a delight.... The single most beautiful shot in tennis...

Stan's backhand is the best I've ever seen, such an incredible mix of power and accuracy but Federer's 2017 Neo backhand was just as awesome to watch. Shame it didn't last very long though

Hands down. Stan's backhand is the most beautiful and sharpest in the world.

Gasquet's backhand is so underrated, probably because he does not have any other primary weapon to support it. Technically it's probably one of the most complete one-handed backhands on tour, just maybe not as powerful as that of Wawrinka or Shapovalov.

Stanimal's backhand has been so legendary for many years that people sometimes overlook Thiem's. according to stat's Thiem's is significantly faster and also slightly more effective (but Stan uses his a bit more often). Thiem has the fastest backhand in the Top 20. The fastest overall has interestingly Sinner (that guy will have great future), followed by Klizan

Fantastic piece on one-handed backhands. Beautifully conceived, written, narrated and produced. Thanks so much for posting!

Would have loved to see Almagro's backhand here, although he's no longer active. Man could also stand and deliver on any surface. Just a shame about his mental strength :(

Federer's backhand, although looked upon as his weakness, is the most beautiful thing to watch.

Shapo's backhand is the juiciest to watch for me but Thiem uses his better in his arsenal. Also, shout out to Guga Kuerten, who had an amazing one-hander capable of amazing angles and just so much control...

This is a great video. Naomi Cavaday knows her stuff, and her narration is spot on. I've seen Stan's backhand live, and it was worth the price of admission. Awe inspiring, especially up close.

This is content is so wholesome! Please do more!

We definitely love those analysis ! Please some more !

Loving these educational videos, cheers!

Very good compilation of the best one handed back handlers to date!!

Thiem and Wawrinka have definetely the best one handers. I didnt know that wawrinkas backhand relies on precision, I always thought that his backhand is powerful but it is rather very presice and tough to read and sometimes it looks he would go crosscourt instead he goes down the line it is amazing analyse. Thiems backhand is the most powerful one hander and probably the most powerful backhand in world

Fantastic video !!! Thank you !! The beauty of Federer gesture is my favorite one.

Wow, great analysis, and speaking as a Tennis coach! Would love to see more videos like this.

As much as I love classic one handers like Federer, the 2 most effective are Stan and Thiem's bc they're fit fore the modern power game. Guys like Rafa and Novak can't take advantage of them on big cross court exchanges because they will give it back.

these videos are extremely cool, more of these please

The one-hander will never die.

such great work on these videos

Really well-made video. Congrats.

One significant aspect of Shapo's jump backhand is that he frequently throws forward his right leg as he jumps, allowing him to then throw it backwards during the swing, generating extra rotational momentum. You point to the analogous role of his right arm and shoulder, but the leg has more mass, so engaging it is really big. This is not limited to one-handed jump backhands. I've seen Djokovic do it for a double-hander.

I really don't think it's a coincidence that the most spectacular players on the tour are all single handed backhand players. Federer, Wawrinka, Tsitsipas, Thiem, Shapovalov, Dimitrov.

get her as commentator instead of the screaming broad

Sick video. Thanks for giving the ohbh some credit

Thiem is the only player I know who winds up with a fully extended arm. Would have loved to hear why/how he does this versus the bent wind-up the other top players use.

No Kohlschreiber? Good one to analyze. Great technique, really drives through creating deep heavy balls. Given his height, can really hang with the big boys.

LOVE THESE VIDEOS. MORE PLEASEEEEEE

Richard Gasquet had such a long wind up and follow, it looked like he dislocated his shoulder. Generated a tremendous amount of spin and power on the one-hander

Stan has the best backhand on the tour in my opinion. But the Fernando Gonzalez backhand is a very underrated shot that nobody ever talked about. But if you have seen his matches, you'll see it's not his weaker shot but at times he has used it to great effect, especially to construct the points in his favor paving way to hit his favorite forehand.

Please add more videos to this series of 'Analyzing ATP Tennis Players'. Make a serve, two handed backhand, and maybe backhand slice or something.

Stan's Backhand is the most breathtaking. Can't talk about one handed backhand without STAN!

Love this content!

Great video!

Love these videos

0:18 - Never knew Christian Grey plays such a beautiful single handed backhand

1. Stan. 2. Hennin. 3. Shap. 4. Theim. 5. Fed. 6. Tsi Tsi. Personally I don't use highlights of bh winners down the line (going away) because a ball in position for that shot invites the fattest contact without the most refinement of the contact point. The true mark of a great one-handed bh is the ability to drive a winner crosscourt off your opponent's average rally shot. It requires meeting the ball even farther in front, while controlling the racket head through fat contact facing a cc target. You have to bring the butt forward just a bit longer for that cc snap. Stan's is the best because it's mechanically the simplest of the top backhands, yet it's powerful and he can rip it with plenty of topspin. His preparation leads to good, fat contact through the zone. Justine Hennin's backhand is a better version of Gasquet's extreme Eastern. Both players get great topspin, but Hennin's bh is a consistent attack weapon. Plus, she can hit her topspin on a ball over her head. Tre difficile. Shap's bh is similar to Stan's in the simple prep that allows fat contact. Shap has also refined his contact point so he can blast it crosscourt for outright winners. Theim has great form, but for some reason he chooses to hit rally shots too much. He should go for more winners, especially cross court. Fed is the greatest player, so his bh plays up, despite being a difficult shot. Fed also picks and chooses when to blast the topspin, opting for his slice if there is any doubt. His touch is so good that players don't dare attack his slice much. He's the best ever at counterpunching off his backhand. Tsi Tsi should have a top three bh, but he doesn't really drive his cross court bh like he should. Right now it's just a rally shot, and it shows - opponents don't fear his cc backhand. If and when he learns to snap outwards better, he will be a top 5 player.

and you know he is going to STAN and deliver

I am a Stan fan, however we need to give credit to Dimitrov and Gasquet - highly underrated

These videos are awesome, more like them please and thank you #ATPtennistv

Credit should go to Pete Sampras for revolutionizing one handed back hand, amount of top spin and speed he generated is second none.

Waiting for the two-handed backhand analysis now 😊

What an excellent analysis 👌

I really think this new generation (thiem, tsisipas, shapovalov, dimitrov) grew up watching sampras, federer, waw, etc. I thought one handed backhand was over, and then they came🙌🏻

Muy bueno, me hubiese gustado ver a Cuevas, Gaudio y Guga en este resumen

Domi and Stan have the most powerful backhand, but they need to siege .Including Gasquet, need to backup for the ball to drop to comfortable level. Federer often hit the ball on the rise, and has to use angles to beat opponents. It’s Denis’s ability to hit jump high backhand that is stunning.

That of Sampras, Becker, Edberg & Kuerten would be an interesting reference. Classic!

Nobody has ever described a two-handed backhand as beautiful - it uses the racquet like a club.

STAN and deliver!

Gasquet and Wawrinka's backhand is beauty

I remember two great one handed backhand players. Kuerten and Gaudio.

great video🔥

You know he’s going to stan* and deliver ;-)

Basically she said that she doesn't know whey the backhands of Gasquet and Shapovalov are so good, apparently it's just magical/miraculous

Love to watch old-fashioned 'one-handed' tennis!

Seriously, Stan has the best single-handed backhand everrrrrr! No one comes even close.

BEST BACKHAND STAN THE MAN!!!!

It would be good if Marco Cecchinato in this analysis video too! He had a great backhand too!

Surely Tsitsipas' backhand is more to do with his cross court since he puts the most spin out of most if not all of them and manages to lock his opponents in that corner

So happy to see this video made. In Australia and i am supposing America is as bad there is a super unhealthy bias to discriminate against the one hander. There are mainly hard courts in these countries so they may try to rush opponents but the likes of Thiem and Wawrinka have shown us that its a strength not a weakness to have a one hander.

great video.

This girl's voice is as soothing as wawrinka's backhand ❤️

Stan the best one hended backhand ever

I love Dimitrov's and Thiem's 😍

Thiems is just boom 💥!

wawrinka is able to plant himself so well behind his backhand that he can use his physique to generate immense power. thiem however is able to generate similar power by really driving his legs through the shot unlike other one handers. one handers require extremely precise footwork but thiem is an outlier in that he is able to push out of the tight footwork

Fed, Stan and thiem backhands are beyond special

Which backhand would I want to have? Wawrinka's. Which backhand is most fun to watch? Shapovalov's.

Can I switch hands and play a left handed forehand ? Asking if it’s allowed if I’m capable of it

Bernard tomic is the 🐐

Gasquet for me, Stan also, but man Gasquet is on another level when it comes to backhand.

Please make a video for two handed back hand. . . Must include nadals and djokovic. . .

After seeing the forehand analysis, I was very much looking forward to this. One handed backhands are the best 😎

I Use the One handed backhand i hope that gonna come new tennis players with one handed backhand maby Me in 10 years

Serve analysis pls??? (Power, spin, underhand 😃 etc.)

I'm simple man. See one handed back hand, then clicked video.

Federer has the best one handed backhand.

Edberg had a fantastic one handed also. His forehand looked like a broken chicken wing but his backhand was a work of art. Watch the 90 Wimbledon final vs Becker.

Thiieeeem

Stan is king of backhand

Gasquet and Wawrinka have one of the best one handed backhands on tour.

Does anyone know what music they use throughout?

Do this with two handed backhands next

That guy commentating on Federer's match said it all: Effortless. Nadal is the fighter of the Big 3, Djokovic is the best overall (I'm not talking about titles and achievements) and the most difficult to play against, but Federer is pure elegance. Almost every shot he takes is seemingly effortless.

Wawrinka has the best backhand ever!!!

I'm working on my jump, hitch-kick OHBH because Shapo's and Gasquet's are so sweet, but the ultimate dream would be to climb the steps to the worship at the alter of Henin's OHBH.

To my eyes, no shot in tennis is prettier than Gasquet's backhand. It's breathtaking

Stan has the best backhand no doubt.

Hot takes: (all my opinion) Wawrinka, Thiem : Most effective backhands Shapovolov, Federer, Dimitrov : Most stylish backhands Tsitsipas, Gausguet : Most awkward looking backhands
