There's not much you can say or do but tip your hat and admire the beauty of a backhand like that. It's one of those rare and occasional things where someone has a historically freakish shot and is just blessed with incredible talent, technique, and ability. And it is so natural to Gasquet that is not a surprise or anomaly when he hits these shots but he actually expects to. One of the best, if not the best, one-handed topspin backhands of all time.

[@RogerThatTennis]

You said it all Thomas!

[@sh0001]

The amount of topspin on those backhands is scary! Amazing BH! Equally good compilation of shots! 👍🏻

[@RogerThatTennis]

Thank you!!

[@alecmatty1733]

gasguets backhand is a thing of beauty a picasso in amongst all the two handers the violent wrist turn through contact takes phenomenal timing one of the most talented players not yet to win a gran slam allez richard

[@RogerThatTennis]

His backhand is pure art!

[@lsc21]

He prepares his racquet so quickly. And his timing is consistently impeccable.

[@RogerThatTennis]

Right!

[@GermanoLisboa]

Thank you for not having annoying music over the video, and keeping it at a lower volume

[@RogerThatTennis]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamesline5103]

The best backhand in the world in my opinion.

[@RogerThatTennis]

Def one of the best James!

[@1908AMIR]

Probably the most technically fluid one handed backhand in modern tennis era

[@crabken4969]

Tied with Wawrinka for me

[@darraghscott920]

Wawrinka's is definitely more effective. Gasquet's is more aesthetically pleasing.

[@k-member]

In the universe

[@jazibahmed3492]

He has an insane backhand

[@RogerThatTennis]

Yesss

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

Strictly from a technical POV, it's the best topspin one hander of all time. His gesture is so natural, he has an amazingly good preparation and an immaculate timing on that shot, it's crazy how consistently he can find the right point of impact with his racket. It's crazy that he never used more such a weapon to its advantage, often chose to put loopy ball in play, waiting 4 meters behind the baseline for a mistake despite a poor athletic preparation from him. This is the reason why overall Wawrinka's was more efficient.

[@RogerThatTennis]

Beautiful indeed

[@christophermoriarty7843]

Most beautiful shot in tennis

[@RogerThatTennis]

I love his backhand!

[@definitelyRAGING]

My junior coach forced me to learn this backhand - terribly difficult to get the feel for, but eventually you can eliminate the need to switch back to continental between shots and simply maintain the western forehand grip for both forehand and backhand sides. Super fun!

[@RogerThatTennis]

& it's beautiful!!

[@honkeyness9427]

That’s interesting - there was another pro who did that, can’t think of name. That’s an extreme backhand grip right?

[@kextrz]

True! A full western forehand grip becomes an eastern grip on an one handed backhand without changing the hand position on the handle.👍

[@jeromea9209]

Was that possibly Berasategui?@@honkeyness9427

[@johnnyblackrants7625]

I do the same thing. Semi-western, so I have a small grip change, but it's so much better than switching the other way, especially on serve return.

[@gordonipock9385]

Best one-handed backhand of all time.

[@rosar6294]

Gasquet's backhand is the epitome of tennis

[@RogerThatTennis]

Right haha

[@santhoshkumarraju2000]

He hits these backhands to the absolute pulp man

[@benhuurfi]

Truly a whip

[@RogerThatTennis]

Yep

[@LuLu-nw6bi]

The most beautiful and one of the best backhands ever.

[@RogerThatTennis]

Really enjoy Richard's backhand!

[@gabrielkorogui]

He will never overcome the backhand By Gustavo Kuerten

[@at1838]

a thing of beauty. thank you!

[@minshullmisako]

Incredible.

[@berkayefekuru5860]

Thanks for the masterpiece :)

[@heribertgolliasch9904]

Not only does he play a fantastic backhand, he's also a great guy

[@benkasprzakfilho5829]

A beauty!

[@RogerThatTennis]

Amazing backhand

[@importantforus]

Top class backhand!

[@loklai5369]

his backhand better than the forehand

[@RogerThatTennis]

It definitely is

[@adityavv96]

He converts his forhands into backhand positions too

[@RobBlanzy]

Great video!

[@RogerThatTennis]

Thanks Rob!

[@galenstone9097]

Prettiest backhand I have ever seen.

[@RogerThatTennis]

One of my favorites as well!

[@quinby123]

Just a one handed backhand executed with an extreme grip.

[@kingp8485]

Magic

[@RogerThatTennis]

Yessirr

The Best backhand!!

[@RogerThatTennis]

[@gabrielkorogui]

He will never overcome the backhand By Gustavo Kuerten

[@Polarcupcheck]

When pretty tennis is also devastating. I mean, when you can hit through Djokovic, Nadal and Federer with your backhand, you have to have alot. He can go down the line regular, early, or from way behind the baseline to the same effect.

[@RogerThatTennis]

Style + power basically haha

[@trikurniawansujoko1848]

Gasquet has a good onehanded backhand, but the problem is his forehand

[@valar_dohaeris7387]

Yes and he needs to improve mental strength also, but overall Gasquet is very talented.

[@exzobree9158]

His backhand is like is forehand. I don't know why his forehand is weaker than his backand.

[@antoniofolgar9080]

Bonito, consistente, un cañón de revés. Que talento . Lastima que no haya sido más sólido en su juego.Mi respeto gasket

[@shanpaulyahanpath5814]

Sounds like a shotgun when he fires that backhand 🎾🔥 Phenomenal!

[@honkeyness9427]

He has the most consistent topspin of any 1hander in history - wish I knew how he did it.

[@horizon4290]

un des meilleurs revers du monde.

[@RogerThatTennis]

Ouiii

[@kextrz]

Bien que Richard Gasquet n'a jamais réussi à concrétiser ce talent irréel en titres majeurs, je suis d'avis que son revers mérite une exposition permanente au Louvre.

[@gerardmackay8909]

Beautiful game handsome man the whole package

[@michaelreid8737]

I would still probably go with Stan in a pinch, but I feel like Richard has more variety in his shot depending on what he feels he needs to win the point. But useless really to say this guy is the best or that guy is the best. Just enjoy!!!🙏🙏🙏

[@royingress9672]

die beste einhändige Rückhand , und sehr speziell, wie Butter.

[@paulaymericrodrigues9000]

Le revers ❤de Richard représente ce que la Joconde est à Léonard de Vinci

[@RogerThatTennis]

Magnifique

[@Himekocchi]

If only his forehand was half as good as his backhand, he would probably be very close with the big 3 if not on the same level. What a shame.

[@RogerThatTennis]

Guess we can’t have it all haha

[@khmak9387]

So Gasquet has "whip" groundstrokes on both sides? 🤔

If Gasquet would have had a forehand as good as his backhand he would've won slams. Plural.

[@johanbotha7315]

Yes he has a great backhand, but there is more to a backhand than the over the top backhand. The slice is just as valuable, and he has a pretty average slice. As a package deal, Federer had a better backhand

[@gabrielkorogui]

think gasquet inspired gustavo kuerten's backhand

[@RogerThatTennis]

Might be!!

[@1908AMIR]

Are you kidding me

[@RogerThatTennis]

Beautiful backhand right!

[@balloon0224]

Poor Gasquet mom died.

[@rosesstone2623]

Sadly his serving is too weak

[@RogerThatTennis]

Definitely not his weapon

[@niceguy1774]

Stan's is better, and Gustavo's is prettier.

[@kextrz]

Both Wawrinka's and Kuerten's were better because they were more reliable, more constant, used with more focus between the hears, especially Kuerten's. As for the esthetic, I will go with Gasquet.

[@jollymolly2521]

Another guy who turned out to be overhyped and overrated - except for his SHB...
