Justine Henin One Handed Backhand Explained

[@vp6564]

Wish someone like her was on the tour today. Fierce and elegant. 🎾🎾🎾

[@LuLu-nw6bi]

The best one-handed backhand ever.

[@hehehehehahahaha2025]

It's a great 1HBH but how is it better than that of Wawrinka, Gasquet, Edberg or Kuerten?

[@user-im5wc4bn3v]

@@hehehehehahahaha2025 You must be indoctrinated by the woke equality. She is a women. You just don't compare her with men.

[@brownieleaders9326]

I agree with Lulu. My rationale is as follows - Henin was/is of a slight build and frame and used a stroke that tends to be used by physically stronger players. You couple it with the following factors: when she wasn't unwell (which led to a shortening of her career) she was able to overpower Serena on hard and clay courts largely due to that backhand; she won far more than Kuertan and Wawrinka both of whom are physically equal or a greater match to their peers at the time; Edbergs was a great passing and set up shot, but his was in a time when he had other one handers that weren'tmas powerful and consistent as Henins generation - not just that but she won at RG which requires a very powerful heavy and consistent backhand with high bouncing balls - Edberg couldn't do that. I think McEnroe said that she is the best hitter of the ball he had seen and had the best backhand - who am i to argue @@hehehehehahahaha2025

[@hehehehehahahaha2025]

@@brownieleaders9326 valid points but you can make counter-arguments to them as well. Edberg never winning the RG isn't a surprise considering he wasn't a baseliner and couldn't hit an offensive FH if his life depended on it (what actually IS surprising is that he still made it to a finals), used a heavy but head-light 85 sq. in. racquet up until his retirement and was still keeping himself alive in rallies, hitting winners and returning serve with his BH before you had luxilon alu banger strings. And there were good baseliners with 2HBHs during his time; Agassi, Courier, Bruguera, etc. Something similar can be said of Gasquet who might as well not have a forehand (or a serve) at all and still made it to the top 10, a testament to the quality of his BH. McEnroe knows his shit I'm sure but it's also kinda hard to know when he actually means something considering the amount of over-hyping and contradicting he does. But fair enough.

Henin and Wawrinka. Most powerful and beautiful one hand backhand in the game!

[@oceanbronze8399]

I have viewed and admired so many single one handed backhands, but hers is a one of a kind work of art. I can keep watching it over and over.

[@kimbanyc1]

She and Roger have the best modern 1 handed backhand!!

There’s Roger Federer & Justine Henin. I still own/play with the nTour 95.. but only dream of playing with Justine’s grace.

[@dyannahoney2255]

I like her voice.

[@royweasley247]

Tec wise, she is the best one handed for both atp and Wta

Henin, Wawrinka, and Gasquet

[@silviosarunic3234]

After Federer, THE BEST ONE HANDED BACKHAND EVER!!

[@David19.59]

I think her one handed backhand was more consistent than Federer's. Her opponents avoided hitting to her backhand. Federer's opponents, (particularly Nadal) targeted his.

[@luisrueda4476]

FYI Federer's one handed bh was his weakest shot, and his technique was not as sound as Henin's, Federer is a great tennis player, but that is not reason for saying that everyone of this strokes was the best.

[@squidjames7735]

lol, Stanimal!!! The GOAT (Nole) has ultimate respect for that weapon. just watch how Stan finishes matchpoint at GR final against Nole. No one can do that to Nole, 1 or 2 handed BH.

Beautiful...and the swing is not bad either

[@gabrielteo3636]

What does she mean "flick the wrist at the end"?

[@squidjames7735]

she would run rings around both igsy and sebby.

[@madachi55]

Agree with LuLu-nw6bi. The best weaponized consistent one-arm backhand in tennis history because she could crush the low balls too. Don't think Wawrinka, Haas and Gasquet are nearly as good on that score.

[@rk-jc9se]

I don't think you can compare this to Wawrinka's backhand. The pace and variety of that are on a completely different level.

[@squidjames7735]

nah, Stanimal's BH sent Nole to slam grave few times. ya gotsta respect that lethal weapon.

[@jeffcoleman6444]

What about the grip

[@tennishistory9369]

Justine never explains it in the video, but I think she uses a semi-western grip.

[@rutan4000]

@@tennishistory9369 wow that's extreme. I thought western grip was as far as anyone would go.

[@DannOblong]

Enormously useful video. Thank you.! Her backhand is stylish and beautiful as many people feel. Please ask her about how the weight goes. I mean the feeling of the muscle of the legs when the body turn is happening.

[@jeffcoleman6444]

Yeah, she goes way over on the grip. That’s why I was asking.

[@ErikShen2907]

DIDN'T BOTHER SHOWING THE BACKHAND GRIP.....

[@hafadaze9046]

Semi western grip also grips should be your own preference don’t copy ppls grips
