Steffi Graf Topspin Backhand (versus Serena Williams)

There goes another falsehood, that Steffi could not hit the shot cold. This is the only one she hit in this match. Contrary to what the announcer argues, Steffi's coach (Heinz G.) never pleaded with her to hit more topspin backhands. He thought the slice backhand was the perfect strategic complement to her forehand. He said as much to Tennis Magazine in 1995. Hong Kong 1999.
