Best two hander since Nalbandian

He has one of the best 2 handed backhands on the tour. I was amazed the first time I saw it in person.

Korda is my favorite US tennis player.

This guys backhand is damn good. He won so many points in Adelaide 2023 with it.

i agree with the others that this is one of the best videos available about the double handed backhand. Kudos!!!

Thanks for the great video. This is in my opinion the best video regarding the mechanics of the two handed backhand...so thanks again. Videos like these will help us all play better tennis! One comment on the footwork (because I struggled with this). Notice that Korda's split step is not exagerrated, its just enough to get his feet off the ground. Then watch closely, as he turns for the backhand he turns the left foot 90 degrees as his first movement (this foot becomes the loaded leg). Then he steps toward the ball with his front as he swings! This footwork allows all the stuff you talked about in the video!!!

Thanks a lot! Great video in right time - I'm dbl basically and more or less back hand works But when I got really strong shot on my back hand - 2 hands Technic so useful for proper respond, need a practise a lot for muscle memory.

Thank you. Great video on the doublehanded backhand.

My dad is a tennis couch and I told this him and he toot me it. THank you i am now winning turtaments.

Thanks for the clear explanation

Great. I hope these tips will help me fixing my THBH.

Superb analysis as always. In my lessons as step up progression i get my students to assume a upper body half turn and a lower body hip opening with racket position assuming a high tip position and in the middle of left and right shoulder. Upon ball feed i wiil get my student to finish the upper body turn with front foot preparing for a final plant across. Upon planting the swing starts with entire hip motion rotating forward (much like a golf swing). In the process racket tip initiating drop below contact (as a result of bowed front wrist) before accelarating forward and upward in keeping with the shoulder rotation force (important to let to forward rotation of shoulder to drive this forward and upward swing). Then you would have achieved a perpect effortless 2H backhand.

Great

How do you drop the racquet below the position of the ball? Is this an active action meaning am I moving my arms myself into the lowered position or does the racquet fall naturally into position as a result of the hips rotating forward similar to a forehand?

Hello. Witch hand do you use to hit more...left or right or bouth hand..on backhand

Thank you, for a nice explanation (as always 😊👍) Do you also have advice for a backhand, when ball is too short and soft? I am straggling with it ( Thanks )

This rightie with a two-handed backhand has a theory as to why I struggle so much. I am right-handed and favor my right leg also. Everything on the left side feels .... very difficult to prioritize ... struggling to put it into words. Resulting in ... the first thing I do when I see a backhand is take a big step with my right leg, 45 degrees forward and left, completely blocking my ability to set up and execute. In other words, how about discussion of the footwork on two-handed backhands, both when the ball is right near you, when you have to take a few steps left, and when you have to take several steps left.

And for one handed BH you can show beautiful one of his father. Danger weapon even against Sampras.

it is necessary to flex the right wrist in the back to help the drop of the racket or can you do it with a tight right wrist? because as you say the shot its more consistent if you don't involve the wrists that much, but in the other hand, its easier to drop the racket bending the right wrist.

Hey Ryan, I was wondering if you could analyze Alexa Glatch's backhand. I watched her play at the Lexington Challenger last week and was impressed with her backhand. It would be incorrect to label it as "next gen backhand," but I'm not sure what to call it. Rick Macci attempted to explain this type of mechanics as "pull-push-flip" method. Like the forehand, the racquet face is pointed down in the slot position and then the racquet lags as you accelerate. For whatever reason, it's more difficult to hit this way on the backhand side. Please examine Alexa Glatch's backhand. Thanks.

What you don't mention, and what I think is very important, is that He lightly bends his knees. For a topspin shot, the racket looks quite open.

What application do you use for video analysis?

I noticed Novak Djokovic moves his head to stare at the ball during contact on his 2hbh. Is he not?

My big head is always a problem playing tennis 😅

His father Peter Korda had beautiful one handed backhand much more effective than his son two handed

not 180, 165

Ur grip obsessed.

*You'd have to be a complete schizophrenic to invent such a super awkward two-handed backhand.* *The one-handed stroke is anatomically perfect, which means it is easier, more efficient, more versatile.*

His backhand is OK. He hits very flat with little or no topspin on the backhand side. To me, his two handed backhand is kinda old-fashioned.

Way too much brushing and no hitting I see here.
