Stefanos Tsitsipas practicing in Monte-Carlo (Awesome court level view)

[@genegao6988]

Can you believe this is the backhand that looked "weak" in real matches? Crazy!

[@bonzwah1]

its better on clay. he doesn't struggle with generating power. he struggles with timing when he's rushed or under psychological pressure.

[@ThetennisDr]

Good comment

[@ThetennisDr]

​@@bonzwah1I'll have To check that cause he def struggling

[@MusicMendicant]

It is not really backhand not firing in matches that's the problem right now for Stefanos. It is him being hesitant on court due to an accumulation of several injuries over the last year ever since Stefanos Tsitsipas was one match win away from becoming World Number 1 at the Australian Open Final in January 2023. Stef got injured there & then a back injury the 2nd half of the year. Could not get up from his bed in Turin & no training in the off-season. Only rehab. He will need more time.

[@dominiccalzetti]

yeah, also he doesn't struggle with generating spin - it's a good clay court backhand right now, but yes you're right it's been a timing/position issue when pressed @@bonzwah1

[@martinpaniceres8352]

His backhand is average bro, almost never can be offensive with that shot and only resist from that side.

[@youngmyth]

Unfortunately the replies to your comment are true 😢 Tsitsipas is held back by his backhand but he’s also not intelligent enough or talented enough with the rest of his game to (easily) counter that weakness. He has time and I think his team needs to work on finding ways to mask his weakness. Let’s see

[@elektrik_exekutioner6822]

Tsitsi's bh is the worst on tour.

[@therealnonoo]

the amount of power in those shots

[@kevincostelloe4006]

I'm always blown away by the practice partner. He's probably a nobody tour wise but he's amazing too

[@radiohead2206]

I think it's easier because he is aiming for the practice partner. If he starts to move around, two shots later the partner would be finished.

[@danilcrackvchenko732]

​@@radiohead2206that's correct, people don't realize the point of this drills is just the consistency and not to win points

Notice, when setting up, his left foot points behind his body. This small thing allows the backhsnd to have even more more turn/coil of hips. Justine Henin did the same if you watch her left foot how far it turns backwards

Why doesn’t he hit his backhand like this during matches? He needs to play some practice rallies with Dimitrov and Wawrinka

Because his opponents in matches are playing to win. Look at how his partner plays his shots; he's only playing to rally. In an actual match Tsitsi has a lot less time to set up his shots.

Lol. It looks good from this angle and the one-handed oozes elegance. But it's definitely his weakest shot that often gets targeted. It's the sole reason he gets squeezed out of the top 10.

[@RyanForrester]

There’s a fundamental flaw in his backhand that limits his consistency and effectiveness. And it has to do with how he uses his shoulders. Stan does it the best which is the real key to his backhand success.

[@mrsquiggles1363]

Cool and all but still under top10... 2 hand backhand just reigns supreme

[@lanceuppercut7436]

His backhand will always be his Achilles heal until he develops the ability to reduce the whip and be able to generate more power from it when he chooses. This is why the top players defeat him. They naturally go for his weak spot. His forehand and foot work are what save him, most of the time.

[@davspa6]

Agree. I used to think I would like to copy his backhand. For general deep rallies it's okay, but like you say for power it's not as good as Wawrinka's. I think he's just not strong enough.
