Yes!

She was never the same player again. She was one of the few players who often used the reverse forehand, also known as the 'buggy whip' forehand. This type of forehand are very dangerous on grass and hardcourt. However it contributed to her worsening shoulder injury. When she came back later she hit her forehand with a more conventional swing, and with more top spin. It added more stability to her game but it doesn't have the killer shots she once had. Her serve also deteriorate a lot due to her shoulder injury. I believe it was due to this that Serena just trashed her a lot after 2010s. If the 2004-2008 Maria was still playing in the 2010s. I believe she could win a more slams, and definitely wouldn't lose like 20 matches in a row to Serena.

@@secrets.295 Very interesting. Yeah, her shoulder bugged her for the rest of her career which is unfortunate. She still somehow managed to win another 2 grand slams in her worst surface which is still a great achievement. You have to admire her tenacity even when her body was abandoning her.

@@secrets.295 can u show me the example of reverse forehand in this video?
