Recent historic news states this is the first time ever there is no player with a one handed backhand in the top 10! This raises the question of will there ever be another player with a single handed backhand in the top 10? Trailing close by is Grigor Dimitrov ranked 13th followed by Lorenzo Musetti at 26th but other then them, who else can fill the shoes of the past single handed elites? I think Tsitsipas & Dimitrov can pop into the top 10 sometime this season but the two handed backhand shows to be supreme. Nonetheless enjoy the amazing quality of tennis produced by these two players in 4K 60fps!
I think there are strong points on both sides of the argument about which is better. I'm old school so I'm still on the 1 handed side. It was so nice to see that Berrettini got into the action a few times as well. It's possible that the beliefs regarding two handed ones being better are more of a trend rather than harcore truth but I can say that I can definitely see why two handed ones are favoured for sure. Stephanos has some incredible timing with Berrettini's super deep shots with his BH slices and drives. Amazing footage as always!! Cheers! M
@@livingtribunal4110hopefully not - I view thiems straight arm ohbh as an innovation to save the stroke - can hit over shoulder balls and switch up down the line with ease
I was double handed in my teens and 20s went back to playing in my 50s my single handed back hand is my most consistent and powerful shot the foot work just works better than a 2 handed backhand as your mobility is less
Tsitsipas has unbelievable shots the only problem is the mentality I think is shame though he could not control his anger sometimes he could easy have won a couple of Slams…..
these two posses two of the top 5 best current forehands in ATP, and serve 130 regularly, both at prime age, they should be winning the 1000s and compete for grand slams right now, so unfortunate
Is Berrettini injured at present? Also he does improvise and hit single-handed backhands a fair bit. Possibly he'd be more comfortable using the one-handed backhand. He has a great backhand slice and is good at the net hence why he's done so well on grass. I think only Federer, Djokovic and Alcaraz (all champions at SW19) have ever beaten him at Wimbledon. Plus he's won the Queen's title as well.
In modern men's tennis, which is much more physical, one handed bh is bound to just disappear. Livelier balls that you could just guide around the court are now gone, deader new gen balls require hard slugging non stop, at the same time racquet setups are getting lighter and stiffer, so much more strain on the shoulder compared to older softer/heavier racquets strung with gut or gut hybrids Just no way around it, and coaches who allow kids to continue with a one hander are not helping them. They will definitely suffer in competition, they automatically lose a solid bh return, and a quick counterpunch, both so crucial in modern tennis. And later in life one hander so often means constant shoulder suffering and tendonitis

4:47 Berrettini single-handed-backhand❤
Looks better than his 2hander
and 9:37
11:39 also, a couple more
It’s a shame that tennis’s most graceful and beautiful shot is dying.
"Natural selection" at work.
nope. I'm keeping it alive.@@Stu49583
@@Stu49583 Exactly this.

@@rathauneek2953 same here.. wish he hadn't injured his wrist. Hope we see more players like thiem.
Good video. I really like the slow motion ralies.
Thanks for letting me know and I’m glad you enjoyed
These videos are priceless, thank you
amazing videos.thanks for sharing
Glad you like them!

What string does tsitsipas use? Seems like he changed from the old one
just his brother setup that he was trying before AO. he still plays with lxn 4g
@@federicoinnocentedo you know what string his brother uses?

´Should...should....should....´
But they use 1HBH...so they aren´t and never will.
It looked like Tsitsipas’ forehand takeback changed a bit.
If you have other tsitsipas videos share them ;)

Berrettini more inerested in modelling than playing tennis.
@@livingtribunal4110he does look great for a model though
Can anyone tell me what the red string of titipas is?
I think it's luxilon element
So beautiful.
All games include Grand Slams should have live court view.

Few will be able to maximize the potential, but of the view they’d be great.
Shoulder suffering🧐🧐 I thought two handed backhands put more stress on your hips and lower back
tsitsipas tour de pass pass❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
One handed backhand is yesteryear.
Not a single backhand between these two tho
His one hander is so horrible and ugly its almost not worth counting him
The first gay player on the ATP to have a one hander as far as I know
