Ruud Takes On Sonego; Wawrinka, Berrettini & More Feature | Stockholm 2024 Day 3 Highlights

[@parkhae-il9211]

he's flexing his raw power again, so satisfying to watch

I like to think that my backhand is just like Stan's, only without the pace, accuracy, spin, depth, footwork, looseness, power, preperation, follow through and recovery. He's a beast, and that really is a wonderful shot.

[@RihanKhan-qf8sb]

Wawrinka still going with the best backhand in history 😁 When I saw Stan was going to play on a hard surface like this I had no doubt about placing a Stake bet for his win, and remember guys.. this man is 39 years old. Look at this guy 8:52 👑

absolutely gorgeous and devstating, my favorite player ever, pity he wasn t as motivated as he is now in his younger years.

Prime Wawrinka can beat prime Joker and Nadal. He is the last of the heat one hander. Tsisi and Dimitrov isn't in the same league. Dimitrov is at retirement so only Tsisi is left carrying the torch. The last of a bygone generation.

Stricker is by far one of the most talented guys from the new gen. Effortless power and intelligent plays, not boring like some of the new guys who rely too much on raw power. I really hope he stays healthy and works hard, the guy has the game to be a top player

[@MrPiotrV]

agreed

stan, still going at 39. love it

he's currently the oldest on tour, right? or nah

[@wildtofurkey1013]

@@parkhae-il9211 You're correct, Nadal (until November), Gasquet (end of French 2025) and Monfils are 38 (1986). Wawrinka's the only player born in 1985 or earlier to still be playing

[@jonfreeman9682]

He's the last of the old generation. Him and Joker are the only ones left. This could be his last season so you gotta enjoy the last of the great backhand.

[@fabiobordignon3840]

Honestly, Stan when he plays this way is sooo satisfying… a joy to watch; his fluid motion precision and power OH backhand is almost mesmerizing …

[@talastra]

This is true.

[@StunnaDroppedYou]

@@fabiobordignon3840 I just switched a month ago to a OH backhand. It’s crazy the amount of power you can generate once you understand the difference in timing and rotation. I always preferred my 2 hander but wanted to try a switch up, I’m sticking with the OH backhand now.

[@sunny455759]

Just love to see stan's backhand all day long what a shot

[@jonfreeman9682]

The last of the great one hander. There's no one left. Tsisi isn't in the same league and Dimitrov is on his last leg. That's it. An era has passed.

@@jonfreeman9682how is Dimi on his last legs when he made it back to the top 10 this season for the first time since 2018…

[@jonfreeman9682]

@@yasdrums Well that's a commendable result for sure but he's no spring 🐔 so dunno how long he can hang on. There is also Shapovalov but his one hander can best be described as functional. Before Agassi introduced the two hander the generation of players before were all one handers. Not sure why it changed as when I played 🎾 I always found the two hander awkward.

[@MrPiotrV]

@@jonfreeman9682 shapavolov's 1h bh is very good...when it works. but the same could be said about every other of shapovalov's shots. he has amazing technique when he's on but he's only on like 10% of the time.

[@alburaq3290]

Stan the man still got it at close to 40 His shot making is still top tier, movement is just too compromised now.

[@Mitch-z1t]

What a competitor Wawrinka is . See you at your induction at Newport one day

[@lukaspfortner6753]

Backhands like Wawrinka prove that the one-handed backhand is absolutely not inferior to the two-handed backhand, and that the reason for its decline is a self-fulfilling prophecy created by narrow-minded coaches who won't let the young generation try to be like Stan the Man. Long love the one-handed backhand.

[@mocee83]

Nt to worry though, there is a whole new generation trying to copy every single shot and movement of the great RF thanks to their parents. They will in a few years break through the ranks to reveal their ohbh weapon, new and improved.

[@J.-M.]

@@mocee83 Players inspired by RF are already on the tour, some of them are even retired. No new kids start using the one-handed BH because of Roger (or anybody else), he's been a retired player for quite some time and many new fans don't have a clue about him (and spew ignorant nonsense here). Sadly, the shot has been basically forbidden in tennis academies for years and decades. Coaches also have no clue about the shot whatsoever anymore. They only know the outdated 20th century version, they don't know anything about the modern, 21st century one-hander that's still very viable in modern tennis. So they either refuse teaching it (99.99% of them) as they consider it completely useless in modern tennis, and those very few who teach it teach a very mediocre, old-fashioned version of the shot (see Mpetshi Perricard). Which then only confirms the flawed but prevailing general perception that the shot should never be taught to anyone anymore.

[@StunnaDroppedYou]

@@J.-M. lol I wonder if maybe their parents played tennis? How moronic could u have made that puke I just read.

[@warriorson7979]

The problem is that players start training at 4 or 5 years old. No 5 year old can hit a single handed backhand.

[@Awesomegamerz2627]

Stricker on fire 🔥🔥

[@excalibur9545]

As a Swiss, I'm especially proud of Stricker after he was injured, the way he played here. He deserves recognition, he has already beaten Tsitsipas once & has been insulted several times because he is not as thin as many others - that doesn't belong in tennis and is sad - the people who say that. Hope he comes & comes and of course would be very happy if he won this tournament. And of course Stan the Man with his beautiful backhand - I'd really like him to win here too - but Rublev, Dimitrov & Ruud are still waiting... I think it should be possible for him - think of Bryan Johnson - to step up a gear again. Maybe - no idea who it is now - Stricker will get the former coach, I think his name was Lüthi, of the legend, the one and only, the maestro; Federer, on board?

[@haidern2443]

Let the haters bark as much as the want cuz domi will answer all of them on court, he's on his way to tye top of the game before he got that nasty back injury after the USO but now in this tournament things are more than good for him after defeating a big name like Matthew 👍 Physically Stricker looks fine to me ,he moves fantastic on court and hopefully in time he'll get even stronger physically . his former coach was sven swinnen but who told yu dominic will reunite with him??🤔

Nakashima isn't much of a test, but Stan was just looking so good. He's genuinely my favorite player. I mean, the one I die about when he doesn't win, and always want him to win everything. It's not just his backhand (but of course it's his backhand); I really like his forehand also. And his serve. And his attitude. Such a joy to watch. Also, didn't let himself get tired out in the first set so he had nothing left.

Nakashima this year has been one of the most improved players on the Tour. Defeated so many big names. Wawrinka was the one Underdog here.
