Although its good to try and hit forehands as much as possible, it is also important to not be afraid of hitting a backhand. Being afraid of your backhand can lead to a tight swing and late contact.
Thanks for great and clear lesson.Love your channel and keep it up good work. I would like to point that how Novak's wrist is flexible . It may give huge advantages .
👌video. Hats off! It helped me very much to change my old two-handed backhand to a modern two-handed backhand. The modern one saves me much time to be quicker in position and to play the ball more powerful. In former days I played on the bottom and top hand an eastern grip. 😉
Hi this is great job on the 2hander. I would like to point out the way a forehand side you can use turn of your body more than the backhand so you must use the arms with the ground for power. Thanks
I didnt even watch or copy him but This is exactly how I hit my backhands except Im not as “coiled” like Novak. Ill definitely try to do more of that. Nice breakdown!
Great video. If you look at the timing of the left foot moving forward, you’ll notice it moves forward only after contact. Too early, and you’ll miss out on the the speed of the arm release. Too late, you will typically top out on the ball. The movement is very subtitle.
Hello, I live in Turkey. I started tennis for the first time at the age of 16 and I can play ball on the wide field in 10 lessons with the teacher. How do you think I can improve myself for tennis at this age. Which sports branches do you recommend besides tennis, such as running. I want to do something successful in the name of tennis, what way should I follow for this?
Great analysis. Just notice Djokovich also turns his left shoulder up when he hit backbands, that it appears to be over his right shoulder. I’m wondering if there is a reason for that and if that is important?
Hey simon and alex!! Could you make a video on how to handle opponent foot fault on every serve? Unfortunately no one calls on foot faults at the recreational level. If I serve half an inch off the box the opponent can call “out” (obviously), but if the opponent steps a meter inside the court on his serve that’s fine. 😢😢
Can you please let me know why his strings are closed when I try to do it with that grip? The strings are open, not closed like him and others that use the same grip. Don't have that same racket face during to take back. Thank you. Great videos
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I am living here right now so next time when you are here i would love to have several trainings with you , thanks for the reply though
hey simon is it okay to play really good in some days and play really bad at some other days? i just feel so bad i dont know if it only happens to me or to other people
It happens to us all Spy. The key is to work hard to bring your base level up to a good standard, so even when you’re having bad days, you can still perform ok
Do any of the pros switch between 1 handed and 2 handed backhanded shots during a match? If you’re chasing a ball that’s hit into the corner on your backhand side, isn’t it easier and much more of an advantage to use a 1 handed backhand because of the maximum arm extension you can reach?
Occasionally you’ll see a two-hander use the one handed backhand on the full run, but it’s extremely rare. It’s better to develop a solid open stance backhand or utilise the slice

Absolutely amazing video. The best backhand video on UA-cam, hands down. Thank you for this, Simon!

Well with this lesson, that problem should be solved 👍
Terrific explanation... immensely beneficial to learn and implement. Thanks

Flexible and loose, no tension in his arms/wrist
Thank you for the breakdown analysis! I smashed that like button 👍
Thanks for the support Paul 🙏
Such a helpful video. Thanks man!
Thanks for watching 👍
Great video! UA-cam won't let me add this to a playlist for some reason..
That’s weird, not surprising though. They’re creating many issues with our channel currently

You can create lots of rotational power on the backhand too
Great explanation of technique! 🙏
Many thanks 🙏

excellent explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial definitely helpful, the hard part is implementation
Great great lesson !!!!!
Great video. Why are his strings closed? When I use that grip combination, it's not closed.
I answered you on a previous video regarding this 👍
Great lesson coach! Thank you.
Question for you: Djokovic or Nalbadian's Backhand? Pick one...
As good as Nalbandian’s backhand was, Djokovic has used his to win 21 slams and counting. Can’t argue with Novak’s
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I agree. Though I've always found Nalbadian's BH more aesthetically pleasing, Djokovic's has to be the best.
Great video!

Timing is key 🔑

16 is very old to start tennis to become a pro player, so it’s better to enjoy tennis and see how quickly you improve
excellent video, totally agree with all that
Great analysis. Just notice Djokovich also turns his left shoulder up when he hit backbands, that it appears to be over his right shoulder. I’m wondering if there is a reason for that and if that is important?
Just noticed that I use a semi western grip for my top hand. Is that bad?
No, it will help you generate topspin
Hey simon and alex!!

Unfortunately no one calls on foot faults at the recreational level.

Call an umpire in competitive matches. If it is box league or similar, ignore it.
Hi, Novak backhand use continental grip ?
Yes, on the right hand
Can you please let me know why his strings are closed when I try to do it with that grip? The strings are open, not closed like him and others that use the same grip. Don't have that same racket face during to take back. Thank you. Great videos
His strings close due to the right wrist dropping and being flexed
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thank you. Could you please do a video on this. Thanks again.
Hello. Is it possible to arrange training with you in Alanya?
I’m sorry, I left Alanya for the time being to take care of some business in the UK
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I am living here right now so next time when you are here i would love to have several trainings with you , thanks for the reply though

Novak is simply, the BEST

Fucsovics does
Cora,
Let Ann view this video on the backhand-2 handed.

This court looks like where The Shining was filmed.
It is the court…
Those courts look horrible. What's the point in keeping grass courts if there's no grass left and nobody looks after them?
