For some reason, hitting down the line BH is not his weapon. So he has some short comings in his technique. What do you think? You might have to compare Novak and Sinner from side on :)
Sinner’s backhand technique is definitely not the best. Not so good down the line, too few variations, on some bad days he would do quite a lof of mistakes. While is forehand technique is perfect, his backhand looks a bit too complicated or forehand-like for me. For best techniques copy djokovic or murray
@@hadrienmonville8213 His technique really doesn't look complicated to me and the only part that is forehand like is the big racket lag. And since when is variation something that was important on the topspin backhand? I don't know of any player that purposefully changes spin rate for variety on the backhand. I do agree however that his backhand might be more difficult to emulate for amateurs as he doesn't take his racket back very high.
What I love about Sinner's game is that he's always tweaking with his technique. It's super interesting how he hits as hard on his backhand as his forehand
Sinner’s strokes are very fluid and relaxed. The speed of his shots are mind blowing. I first thought Alcaraz would replace Federer/Nadal/Djokovic, but now I am thinking that Sinner could be as successful as Alcaraz, perhaps better. I have the impression that Alcaraz is more prone to injuries than Sinner, which could be important in their careers.
I personally like my backhand. I’m a one hander but I’ve always loved Wawrinka's backhand. Such a weapon! I enjoy Daniel Evan's backhand for its utility. As far as two handers go I believe I’d have wanted the Zverev backhand.
I’ve never heard of having the eyes on the ball contacting the racket so your opponent doesn’t know where you’re hitting. That’s a strange one to me. Still gave a thumbs up on the video!
Federer said after losing to Nadal that playing Rafa was like playing someone with 2 forehands. Casper Ruud said something similar. If they’re not credible…..who is? -Jason Frausto
It was just outshined by his forehand, and he mostly kept the ball in play. But you could always see it was very resilient, he could add power if he wanted to, and being right handed gave him a lot of control.
I think you miss certain more obvious elements which enable him or the best in the sport, similarly too.. Medvedev for example, to get the racquet to glutes, because even though we can all see this, only very few would be able to accomplish it repetatively. Getting the racquet there is a JOURNEY. As the racquet begins it's negative phase (take back) he is already LEANING IN chin over shoulder. His pivot/fulcrum point is the ball of his FRONT foot ( the head over it, because he's leaning forward, in anticipation to ATTACK that ball out in front, ie, its NOT PASSIVE ! ) then as the racquet goes back the BUTT OF THE RACQUET points to that foot and is not separating from his hips & lower body. As the ball approaches its bounce, he then measures how much more he can separate the back foot before finally adjusting it, planting that foot, at which point his takeback to glutes is completed. Most people just take their racquet on their back foot, either standing too verticle or even leaning backwards with NO SPACE BETWEEN THEIR FEET like a lefty pitcher & spend their forward cycle OFF balance hoping that a miracle will occur connecting them to the ground for kinetic energy... but it never does. Look at his anticipation his split step and how close to the ground he gets. He's used ALL OF HIS AVAILABLE TIME effectively to produce the master stroke.
Both great backhands for sure, although Agassi has a tough time against slices with his two hander. Sinner has an awful out of power on that side which is impressive. -Jason Frausto
@TennisUnleashed sometimes I wonder if Novak , jannik and Zverev all take their best backhand to swing at a hand feed ball (which means no movement is needed, body perfectly balanced, timing is not a issue), and Zverev would have the best backhand shot among all. because his bh technique is powerful( bent elbow,close to body, more tilt racket head) and "advanced" compare to sinner and Novak. the issue with his backhand is it took so much time to operate. it's a technical advanced stuff. like a super computer the supercomputer is hard to use for some simple task.
Zverev certainly has a great backhand but you're right, it takes longer for him to prepare the racket and get through the swing because the motion is more circular. Thanks for sharing your insights. -Jason Frausto
I wouldn't say Zverev's technique is more "advanced", the biggest difference is that he has a bigger backswing. And I don't think he really has more power than Sinner either, it seems about the same to me.
Is Sinner’s backhand the model to copy? Is there any other player on tour now who’s backhand you’d rather have?

Medvedev's backhand
Sinner's backhand is awesome though

Same. I love that he's tweaking and looking to perfect every part of his game. Incredible mindset.
-Jason Frausto
He should be called double-barreled bazooka :)

Nadal has also dealt with injuries in his career. Didn’t stop him from winning 20+ GS

Gotta love a good one hander :) Good pick with Zverev, excellent technique with accuracy and power.

Tecnica di impatto fenomenale per time e perfezione di movimento!!🎉🎉
So awesome. Will work on mine tomorrow after seeing this. Thanks Jason

Still gave a thumbs up on the video!
You can read a racquet face too
Amazing job you did
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.
-Jason Frausto
So interesting analysis!!
I've seen Nadal sometimes hit with a windshield-wiper finish with his backhand - have you ever seen Sinner do the same?
Great great great video
Glad you enjoyed it.
-Jason Frausto
This low last second snap in his backhand compromises last minus backhand slice and dropshot balls
I’ve never heard Nadal’s backhand mentioned in the same sentence as Sinner’s or heard his backhand mentioned as one of the best.
Federer said after losing to Nadal that playing Rafa was like playing someone with 2 forehands. Casper Ruud said something similar. If they’re not credible…..who is?

Daaang, why didn't we have this 45 years ago?
Certainly would have come in handy in the 70’s and 80’s ;)

this makes me even more perplexed how safin got sooo much power with his backhand without having a real takeback or lag on his backhand
Do you know his backhand grip?
Great question on his grip combination. I’ll take a look.
-Jason Frausto
Musetti beckhand vs Tstsipas.
I'll add it to the list Gio. Thanks for watching.
-Jason Frausto
I'd rather copy Novak's or Agassi's backhand. But Sinner does have a great one as well.

il peso del corpo... e importante il doppio del resto.
the secret is to be dopped without get banned! ask sinner!
Womp womp👺
You talk way too much
Thank you. You comment on too many videos. We have something in common ironically. ;) Understanding the algorithm is key LOL.
