Jason, the hitting arm has a slight bend on it all the way until contact. It is not straight. If it were straight, there would be too much tension in the arm. As you mentioned, Musetti has more hip rotation than Tsitsipas. He gets more rotational energy and he really lets loose with his backhand. He can flatten his trajectory with ease. As a result, he hits a lot of winners with it. Tsitsipas hits with a lot of topspin and doesn't get many winners off his backhand. He prefers to use his backhand as a shield instead of a weapon. Musetti is the opposite.

This is solid analysis. I think Musetti's backhand is the more advanced shot, but it also seems harder to replicate for us weekend warriors. Tsitsipas's backhand isn't as dynamic, but it's not a bad shot at all. I really like your pointers: the power-v, the loose wrist, and the hitting hand finishing above the head are all great descriptions.

Wonderful frame analysis comparison but it might be nice to see a few video loops at actual speed at the beginning and end. Kudos!

Definitely Lorenzo. He does everything right on this shot. Though as you say Tsitsipas was probably only practicing so his swing is more casual. Tsitsipas BH is more flat generally. Possibly due to a more eastern grip and a lesser drop of the racket before contact. The huge point that you mentioned is the loose wrist to allow for the racket to get under the ball no matter the height of the ball. That makes the racket drop before contact which allows hitting low to high and more comfortably. If the racket doesn’t drop enough then the hitting tends to be more linear, straight and flat and often more tense. Great analysis Jason.

Agreed. Love Stefanos but Musetti has a lethal one hander. Fluid and dynamic. Agreed with all of your points, thanks for sharing them. -Jason Frausto

Hello Jason! There must be something more important bc Tsisipas bh -at least since his last change in style/technique (2020?), where he kind of abbreviated it - is one of the weakest onehanded bh in the tour. Musetti, Gasquet, Wawrinka, Thiem, are way more agressive and above all harmful. All his opponents play him by that side. Besides he ALWAYS plays standing in the middle of his backhand side court like "protecting" that side. I notice that standing position in every match.

Justine Henin’s. Up to now I have yet to see an ATP player hit as heavy a top spin crosscourt backhand as Henin used to do.

@pierdomenicosommati443 Жыл бұрын

@@Qacc6 Henin's backhand was totally monstrous, she was able to really beat everybody's ass with it... Like an ATP shot transplanted to an 1.67 slender woman's frame. I actually think that Musetti's shot has some things in common with Henin's one... including the amazing confidence they both put in that shot, even in the most extreme situations.

@pierdomenicosommati443 Жыл бұрын

Anyway, I'd choose Musetti's backhand for sure over Tsitsipas'. That's good too, but Musetti's just from another level🙂

@TennisUnleashed Жыл бұрын

Good points on Henin. Especially for a player so small in stature, she played on heck of a big and varied game. Would love to see another female step up and play similarly to her. -Jason Frausto

@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten Жыл бұрын

@@Qacc6 I highly doubt that the RPM or speed on her backhand was higher than any of the top hundred pro's with one-handers right now as the men usually hit a lot harder, but I guess it could be possible.

Disguising your shot maybe a side product of keeping your head down through contact but it’s not the purpose for it.

@raphaelarmandovalor6586 Жыл бұрын

Musetti backhand is more similar to Dominic Thiem! Stefano’s backhand is different! It is more old school per se like fed or dimitrov. Musetti thiem use more their hips and torso that’s why you see that bid rotation. Stefano’s is trying to stay more sideways like fed. I think staying sideways can give you a little more control and discipline but you loose a lot of power! On the other hand, this next generation backhand it’s all about body rotation to generate power and spin so it can be a little wild at times!

Musetti's backhand is better.. That's the only thing he's better at than tsitsipas. Remember that 70% of the groundstrokes hit on the ATP tour are FOREHANDS!! Lol. Tsitsipas has demonstrated from his results that he's clearly a superior player.

the follow through is completely different and you just ignored that. Stefanos always ends his shots like that, not just on casual shots.

@TennisUnleashed Жыл бұрын

The follow through is dependent upon position and shot intention. A good point to follow for anyone trying to learn is hand above the head for net clearance and consistency. Thanks for sharing. your point of view. -Jason Frausto
