Gasquet could have got some more❤ cause he has hit some stunners! One against Nadal, at the atp tour finals, against Murray.. same for Federer, that whole match against James Blake in the atp tour finals, is one big highlight on his backhand side!
True but why doesn’t anyone talk about how unique thiems straight arm preparation OHBH is? It is so unique / every other pro uses their arm bent in prep. And every other ohbh struggles with high bouncing balls (although some like roger 17 stepped in). Thiem is the only one who had all the freedom benefits of a ohbh and also had a very stable arm so he can hit across the batt almost like a baseball bat. I’ve got a bent arm prep too and it helps a lot with spin but not well on flatter balls - it’s got many more moving parts. So backfoot or over the shoulder is much harder. Thiems backhand could be a ohbh model for the future - I think it’s to do with him having a 2hbh early on before transitioning to a one hander
Stan's backhand is quite mechanical, a very simple and efficient stroke, but not that beautiful. The problem with his drive is he does not have the ability to generate a lot of topspin on the shot. It's fairly flat. So when he makes the shot it has great penetration. But all too often it either strikes the net or lands beyond the baseline. Gasquet beat Wawrinka in the Wimbledon quarter-finals in five sets because Stan made so many backhand errors, despite Stan having a more powerful serve and forehand.
Gasquets backhand is the most beautiful shot in the modern era in my opinion. Rogers the most versatile and Stan/Domi with crushing power. Sampras and Becker both had nice ones but the shot was generally less offense oriented in the fast court era. Gugas was awesome also.
The problem with Shapavolov and Wawrinka's backhands is that both are unreliable. Neither man can seem to hit more than five backhands in a rally before producing an error. Both have much better forehands and serves than Gasquet, yet Gasquet has good records against both men simply because he hits more winners than errors off the backhand.
i play one handed backhands it feels REALLY amazing when you hit a nice shot i dont really care about two handed advantages, it's way too fun to play one handed xD
Little bit sad to only see footage from Dimitrov 😥at 9min only, 4 in total and only 2 from Gasquet... I'm sure they could have more highlights also ☺️ You could have added Fernando Gonzalez, probably some good highlights too 😁
Tommy Robredo had a quality one-hander. I always enjoyed watching Tommy's game. And speaking of Tommys, what about Tommy Haas? I think Wawrinka copied his stroke from Haas. Both Robredo and Haas earned wins over Federer.
@@astonishingaparajit6785 actually Gasquet' s backhand is the weirdest in terms of ahestetic, but of course is really efficient, powerfull and well placed.
The one-handed backhand is a formidable shot that can surprise opponents with its unpredictability. This unique stroke often appears unexpectedly, making it challenging for rivals to anticipate and effectively respond. By incorporating this skill into your gameplay, you can gain a significant advantage and keep your opponents on their toes.
I think as a lefty using a ohbh Shapo has made excellent strides probably because of having to deal with cross court attacks from right handers throughout his career. He has developed such good bio mechanics for a one hander that so many right handers struggle to do, even the great RF had to put years of work into it. If only Shapo can develop a strong level headed, winner attitude, tennis fans can still enjoy such an aesthetically sound ohbh and probably pave the way for future stars. It might happen we will wait n see
My only couple of complaints with this is that A. It wasn't long enough 😜 B. No Kohlschreiber, Hass, Guga or Gaudio. But especially Kohlschreiber. He has arguably one of the best single handers. If he was as tall as some of the others it would have been devastating for an opponent
The most beautiful shot in tennis 🎾 🤩.. Some of the Greatest of all time have used the one handed backhand.. 👍🏻 Roger Federer.. Stan Wawrinka.. Richard Gasquet... Arthur Ashe.. Stan Smith.. Yannick Noah.. Pat Cash, Pat Rafter... Ivan Lendl.. Ivan Ljubicic... Etc.. 👍🏻 Pete Sampras Stefan Edberg 👍🏻 👍🏻 😃 😁 😎
Nice video idea but I have to agree with the other comments that having some more variety in the players shown would have been nice. A lot of viewers already named some of their favorite OBHs that weren't shown (or like Gasquet maybe shown too little). I want to add Kohlschreiber. Imo he hit some very beautiful and skilled shots with it through his career.
I like how Tsitsipas, who cannot hit a backhand to save his life, yet made it on the footage. Even the announcer said it, “he hasn’t made many of those today!”
Fed's was the most stylish and he could return incredibly well with that flick of a backhand. Wawrinka's perhaps the strongest overall: in BH rallies his onehander never looked any weaker than opponents' twohanders. SHapovalov's on the run shots and jumping backhands were outright spectacular. Thiem could generate enormous topspin and in his best days fire down the line winners like no one. Gasquet's backhand looked stronger than his forehand: it was something to stay away from.
Most beautiful EVER? Nothing of Edberg, Becker, Lendl, Henman etc. Only from the last few years are included in a 'most beautiful EVER caught on camera'. You really need to get someone over the age of 24 to do these videos.
Wtf the total of points selected for Shapovalov and Musetti 🤯 Gasquet and Dimitrov are new players ? The both shoud have at least 5 or 6 shots. But beautiful tennis in this video 👍
There are MANY players with the "Most Beautiful One-Handed Backhands Ever" missing in this compilation, most of them already mentioned by other commentators here. I would add Daniel Altmaier.
Tennis video clickbait 101 - any thumbnail with Federer. Did I click it - obviously because I'm here. Am I mad about it at all? Absolutely not! Wonderful to watch all of these incredible and gorgeous backhands.
Nice to see highlights of a shot that the ATP has basically killed off in the past 30 years. Thanks to the slowing down of surfaces/messing with the balls, and the desire to have a nice, high bounce on all surfaces, the tour has become an army of two-handed baseline robots grinding from 10 feet behind the baseline. One-handers USED to have an advantage for parts of the year, during the grass-court and fast hard court season, and on fast carpet. The loopy, South American one-handed topspinners even had their own advantages on clay. But since the surfaces have been homogenized, you can play the exact same way from January to December. Zero variety is needed. Gone is the need to transition your game as you switch from one surface to the next. So the two-handed backhand has become the default backhand for the tour. In 1990, 30 players in the Top 50 had a one-hander. 8 players in the Top 10 alone! There were one-handed baseliners, one-handed serve-and-volleyers . . . 2000: 21 of the Top 50. 2010: 14 2020: 9 Today: 7
The one-handed backhand is the most spectacular and admired shot in all of tennis. The broadcasters and tournament owners should pay these players more because they attract more ratings and playing like this has a higher level of difficulty.
I never understand why in this one-handed backhands compilations the ATP set aside every time Gaudio (a Roland Garros champion), and put Almagro or Shapo, who, with all due respect, have not been as successful as Gaston. Gaudio´s backhand was a thing of beauty and deserves some respect and tribute, and not be treated like forgotten trash. Yes, he never had much marketing as the new generations, but anyway, we are talking about the last Roland Garros Champions before Nadal´s era.
talking about top spin one handed backhands (no slice) in my opinion the ranking is 1 Wawrinka 2 Thiem 3 Gasquet 4 Federer ecc.... and i' m a Federer fan
Gasquet only getting 2 highlights in this compilation is a wild scene
He got snubbed for sure
@@DjokovicIsOurLordAndSaviour2 REPLIES
he never scores any winner, he just pushes the ball across the net, that's why. Beautiful, and inefficient.
Meh, gasquet's is weak
@@shandarouflmurray Gasquet RG 2010 would change your mind

I know Stan's backhand is most aesthetically pleasing, but man do I have a soft spot for Domi's ripper. Perfection
Thiem’s backhand is ugly as hell and ruined his career.
And Federer’s is more aesthetically pleasing than Stan’s. Also Gasquet

One handed backhand and Stan the man go hand-in-hand
Just Pure Artistry in Motion💥🥳
For me the most aesthetically beautiful and efficient one-handed BH ever. The most beautiful one-handed BH stance as well.

if you do this again, altmaier from germany should get some love. he has maybe the most purely aesthetically pleasing one hander i've ever seen.
Roger federer will forever be my favourite backhand
and wawrinka
Wawrinka one is better for sure!
@@constantin194favorite is not the same as better, so you missed the point on this comment
@@constantin194same school)
Yeeeees!!!!
Shapo's backhand is one of the most beautiful swing in tennis, while the most crushing is Stan's, then Domi's
Domi's backhands have clocked higher speeds than Stan's highest though, on a few occasions no less.
The problem with Shapavolov and Wawrinka's backhands is that both are unreliable. Neither man can seem to hit more than five backhands in a rally before producing an error. Both have much better forehands and serves than Gasquet, yet Gasquet has good records against both men simply because he hits more winners than errors off the backhand.
0:23 The time when Mannarino still had hair
To show just 2 winners of gasquet over musetti and shapovalov is criminal
Yep, I agree, dimitrov only appeared in the last 3 min, gasquet only twice, and no cuevas?
@@jacksalomon2422 REPLIES
I will always remember how Federer carried himself on and off the court. The true champion and true ambassador for tennis, if not all of sports.
Nah, its all a show for the most part. He has a history of downplaying his opponent's wins.
Only 2 shots from Gasquet? No Gaudio? No Kuerten? nothing from Becker, Sampras, Lendl?
Don Budge. He was the first to consistently hit over the backhand.
Those aren’t beautiful

Might have the rights to post the highlights on UA-cam? That’s my only thought.
Most beautiful shot in tennis.
rarely mentioned because he spent most of his time at the net was Mcenroes bhand, his ability to take it on the rise was amazing
*Prime Wawrinka was the king of backhand in tennis. His backhand was perfection.*
Still is still Is. Stan is a walking highlight reel lol.
The most aesthetically beautiful one-handed BH stance, and the most efficient one-handed BH ever when at its peak.
what about Kuerten?
4 REPLIES
How can Stan's backhand be "perfection" when the shot was always unreliable? It was not a reliable rally shot, which was often Stan's undoing.
I like how on the Gasquet - Dimitrov point I don't know whose backhand is going to be the highlight.
The most beautiful movement in tennis...i love it.
i play one handed backhands
it feels REALLY amazing when you hit a nice shot
i dont really care about two handed advantages, it's way too fun to play one handed xD
Absolutely 😊👍
But I bet the two-handed backhand players also feel the same way when they hit a nice shot 😉
@@fabianhauser708 for sure!!
@@fabianhauser708I played both and it's not the same, one handed backhand is somehow so satisfying 😊

Glad to see Shapovalov coming back...
That backhand lob from Shapovalov was crazy town. That boy has a backhand!
@@dunningkruger58232 REPLIES
Stan is the man when it comes to one handed backhands.
Almagro’s is wonderful. My favourite 3 beastie backhands are Stan, Domi & Almagro. Roger’s is a thing of beauty and the most satisfying to watch.
The one handed backhand is the most beautiful and technical shot in tennis !
Rublev’s description of DIMITROV’s beautiful backhands, even if they’re unsuccessful 👌🤣
lol you put just one random backhand from tsitsipas so he doesnt feel bad
True, 50% of Tsitsipas ugly backhands are misshits😂😂😵💫
That lob from Shapo is probably the best I've ever seen.
Shapos jumping backhand is by far most beautiful shot in tennis
Musetti probably has the best one handed backhand in the top 50 right now. It's a pity he doesn't have a big serve and forehand to back it up.
wawrinka is in top 50 now so no
This is tennis. the best and most beautiful shot in tennis😍😍🎾🎾🎾
Shapo airborne is pretty cool
This is one of the best videos that TTV has put out there. Thank you TTV.
There should have been a few more from Gasquet
Only two Gasquet highlights? You could have literally made this nothing but Gasquet backhands and stayed true to the video's title.
Perfectly put.
true.
When I played tennis in the early 90's to the late 90's, I was about a 5.0. I played a one hander and one of my favorite one hander is Stan W.
Little bit sad to only see footage from Dimitrov 😥at 9min only, 4 in total and only 2 from Gasquet... I'm sure they could have more highlights also ☺️

I love tennis because of one handed backhand
Why not the inside-out backhand from gasquet vs Murray 😢
Stan the Man 🔥🔥
man the athleticism it takes to pull off running sliding one-handed backhand on a hard court, I've only seen Shapovalov do it consistently
Federer had artistic view and Stan has power.both are great in one handed backhand shot.❤

Most artistic is gasquet by far

it's incredible to think that the two best one-handed bachand player of the last twenty years are both from Switzerland, a very small country
Agree thoroughly.
Sampras is American.
Also, this definitely should have some Chris Eubanks. It's sometimes like Wawrinka levels of delicious.
Please make Videos from the masters title runs from isner and sock because of their retiremant
My only couple of complaints with this is that
A. It wasn't long enough 😜
B. No Kohlschreiber, Hass, Guga or Gaudio. But especially Kohlschreiber. He has arguably one of the best single handers. If he was as tall as some of the others it would have been devastating for an opponent
There are few more beautiful sights in tennis, or in any sport, than a crisply struck technically perfect one handed backhand
