Yes, I wrote an article in 2021 called "Pete Sampras, The Right Hander Who Played Like A Left Hander". He modelled his game on Rod Laver, and he got more swing on his shots and flick of the wrist often, mimicking a left hander. I think it made his game look unique even if people didn't understand why it looked a bit different.

@Funkytrip73 11 ай бұрын

I am intrigued by the Shapovalov jump backhand. You can see he does not use them for looksies, but each and everyone in the example was one where he could hit it at exactly the spot he wanted: slightly in front of him and in a sharp corner out of the court. Because he is so high in the air, he can aim it downwards and his racket almost flat. It's beautiful and way less risky than you would think.

@rosePetrichor 11 ай бұрын

Every one handed backhand player knows our weakness; high shots above the shoulder. It's why Nadal was able to neutralise Fed; his topspin pushed every shot so high that Roger had to take it early or not at all. Jumping helps with that; although you lose footwork control you have to unit turn and plant your feet for a solid one hander anyway so you lose less time than you think. If a more consistent player than Shapo tried it it could be a legitimately solid shot
