Brilliant analysis for the amateur. Thanks! Barty making them run around their forehands to the send it the other side seems genius to this relative newbie 😊

[@Braselton21]

Nadal's backhand slice down the line to Open up his forehand is amazing to watch :D

[@antoinev9733]

for a fine sliced BH chose a one handed BH please :) Berrettini is fine but have a watch at Gasquet's one or even Federer or Dimitrov :)

[@hussTennis]

the slice is so badly considered nowadays that your article is good to read. Great analysis. Where did you find the figures concerning the average number of strokes played in slice? 🙏

[@antoinev9733]

there is many advantages with a good sliced BH. it don't cost energy. it is difficult to attack back. opponant can't read it, it can goes everywhere it gives a vey high accuracy. and it is perfect to hide dropshots :)

I would say Thiem has a better bh slice incorporated to his overall game.!

[@BaselineTennis]

Thiem definitely does have a great slice. As is his Topspin bh, can hit winners from any position!

I feel that Barty’s slice is much more effective cause most women’s players don’t slice regularly while on male players do. It seems like in most matches I see Berretini play, it’s just a matter of time until his opponent gets used to his slice and I feel that part of the reason behind this is because many male players have an average to great slice which makes the shot very expected which is the opposite compared to female players
