Fastest EVER ATP Backhands: Part 2 ⚡️

[@JakobElboel]

Bathing suit Stan was amazing. That French Open win over Djokovic was some of the best tennis I have seen.

[@wilf18]

Some matches always stick in my mind. 2013 Australian Open Wawrinka vs Djokovic was amazing. The following year was a belter too.

[@Nikica40]

FAA: eeeh RUBLEV: BLYEEEEH

[@クリームイカ]

That match was insane! So intense

[@Molybdaenmornell]

They have something like a two-octave difference in pitch.

[@thetasteofwater918]

My favourite players: 5: Thiem 4: Wawrinka 3: Federer 2: Fognini 1: Gasquet's backhand

[@guiluismelo]

@@-music2023 I think Fognini is a really interesting player as well. He has some bad attitudes of course, I don't agree with everything he has done but he makes everything looks so easy, sometimes even a little bit like he doesn't care (maybe sometimes he really doesn't care haha), I think it's incredible.

Stan's Backhand is faster than most players Serve haha

[@yin8421]

In this video, Gasquet's backhand is 103 mph, equal to 164.8 kmh. Faster than the Wawrinka's backhand.

[@juliannaser4017]

hmm well.. You'd need to distinguish between 3 different categories of backhand speed... but Stan, even though his bh is sooo awesome, is not in the Top 3 in any of those a) Highest average backhand speed: Sinner (two-hander) followed by Klizan (two-hander) The one-handed bh player with the highest average backhand speed who's also the one who has the highest averagee bh speed in the Top 20 is Thiem (one-hander) followed by Zverev (two-hander) b) those who regularly peak the highest: Thiem (one-hander) followed by Shapovalov (one-hander) followed by Gasquet (one-hander) Thiem and Shapovalov regularly attack with more than 90 mph c) the fastest bh shots ever: Thiem (104 mph at this year's RG against Casper Ruud) followed by Nadal (against Djokovic at Montreal 2013) and Gasquet (against Murray at the Sony Open 2013) with 103 mph each. Stan's amazings and has a fast bh, but it's not as fast as others.. and he never hit a bh with 100 mph or more

[@Molybdaenmornell]

@@juliannaser4017 I think this one might top the list if it had been clocked: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anmypmOEmd-he9E It's been estimated at about 107. Federer and Brown have both hit above 100 mph too (here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3mkgZKKms6rhqs and (I think) here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4jZn4ukoLalmLc)

[@fedealbanello]

4:40 David’s backhand it’s an absolute masterpiece.

[@littlelogan]

A Nalbandian 2-H backhand is my favorite shot.

[@sergiosimbula]

Safin had such a hammer backhand yet made it look so effortless. Nalbandian's backhand same as Rios... pure technical perfection!

[@Gab-qn1lf]

Gasquet has the fastest shot in the video (103mph = 165kmh)...just insane. I think the second is Wawrinka

[@Molybdaenmornell]

To be honest, a lot of one-handed backhands have been recorded in between those two speeds and some (Dimitrov 107 mph, Thiem 104 mph) have even gone beyond it.

[@anseinueseima408]

Safin the MOST POWERFUL TWO HANDED BACKHAND

[@Zach-xm5wc]

Legend says France has Gasquet's backhand in their nuclear arsenal.

[@randylevy]

64% of all France's nuclear reactors are powered by Gasquet's backhand.

[@michaelmonsoon3919]

[@sicboi]

Great video compilation!

[@reyben374]

Having a powerful backhand in tennis a huge advantage

[@drinknot]

More than half were one-handed backhands. It's a much longer stroke than a two-hander.

[@parkercrossland410]

The 2 hander is typically generating power by pushing with the weak hand and using the strong for control and spin. The 1 hander generates power by pulling with the dominant hand, which is almost always mechanically stronger. It also allows more body torque.

[@drinknot]

Because the one-hander backswing and follow-through are not restricted by the non-dominant arm, the racquet head is able to travel a significantly longer path. Any slo-mo comparison will bear this out. A longer head path, for advanced players naturally increases "head-speed".

[@drinknot]

@jjmah11 "Pace" on a tennis shot is not (or should not be) generated with muscle, but with correct form and fluidity. It is a fact that a two-handed backhand (or forehand) is a more restrictive stroke.

[@drinknot]

@jjmah11 the average baseball bat weighs somewhere around 2-1/2 pounds, so it would be nearly impossible for a batter to get it around in time to meet the ball with one hand/arm. Tennis racquets weigh on average, 10 ounces. Holding any object with 2 hands naturally adds strength, but strength doesn't necessarily equal speed.

[@himmatchahal7271]

Wawrinka defently got the fastest

[@rjari8578]

Maybe ... but not as fast as Dom theim

[@adambennaim5500]

[@JasminGardenia]

I haven't found stats about the fastest ever, but according to ATP stats the Top 20 player with the highest average BH speed is Thiem. And now it's gonna be interesting: guess who has the fastest in the Top 200 (and, thus, a faster one that Thiem)? It's Sinner (followed by Martin Klizan). There are simply so many promising facts about that dude..

[@GrandmaBetty1945]

1) Gustavo Kuerten *By far*

[@eduardoestevesdominguez]

Perfect

[@wilf18]

Wow. Some amazing backhands there. Difficult to pick my favourites. Nalbandian and Djokovic for me have the best double handed backhands but in this compilation I will pick the flat strike of Fognini. When he pulls it off, it’s truly sublime. Nadal’s cross court backhands are lethal and definitely worth a mention. But my favourites are single backhands. When Federer’s is on song, it’s beautiful. When he beat Novak at the French (I forget the year), his backhand was top drawer and in 2017, I think his backhand won him titles and humiliated Nadal (after years of being humiliated by Nadal). Most will say Wawrinka has the most deadly single backhand and they are right. But my favourite here is Gasquet’s. I could watch that all day long. Sadly he hasn’t managed to achieve the degree of success he’d have aspired to early on but as they say, it’s tough at the top.These are mostly attacking backhands which is only part of the game. Some of the single backhands aren’t as good under pressure and attack. That’s why if I had to pick an all round backhand that does it all supremely well I’d have to choose Novak or Nalbandian.

[@rafaelcarlos6706]

So do his double faults in blooper videos.

[@juliannaser4017]

​@@gravinboginagis6568 Zverev has the second highest average bh speed in the Top 20 (the overhighest in the Top 20 has Thiem and the overall highest has Sinner) The one who peaks the highest is Thiem, followed by Gasquet, followed by Shapovalov... but Zverev does indeed sometimes have really fast bh winners... of course, Zverev sometimes makes double faults, but that doesn't change the fact that he has a fast bh. Btw, if you e.g. watch the Tenniv TV video uploaded a few days ago about the fastest bh winners this season at atp tournaments, you'll see that only the bhs of 3 players have made it there: Thiem's (who has by far the most), followed by Shapovalov and Zverev However, not in this video is Thiem's 104 mph winner against Ruud this season because it was at a slam (at RG).. the fastest bh ever recorded (followed by Nadal's and Gasquet's 203 mph (both in 2013))

[@victorbicudo1374]

half of these did not clock 135 kmph. Are these really the fastest?

[@jonathangrant5176]

I thi k they meant best not fastest

[@juliannaser4017]

The fastest confirmed one is Thiem's 104 mph (168 km/h) bh winner in his match against Ruud at this year's RG, followed by the 103 mph ones (166 km/h) of Nadal (against Djokovic in Montreal in 2013) and Gasquet (against Murray at the Sony Open 2013)

@@Alexander-hs7fi I don't know how old you are. But most ATP pros started when they are 4, latest 7 years old. I'm not saying that you cannot have a career in tennis. But, to become top 100 in the world is impossible unless you're already a top junior in your nation by like 11. That's just reality. As I previously mentioned though. There are other options, coaching, journalism, now there are other roles on a pros team too like specialising in recovery, mindset etc. Very few people are capable of becoming a pro, it's not just a case of wanting it enough to make it.

Guy who designed this viewing angle at 5:55 was not a genius, looks like the camera is on an air balloon. Otherwise Wawrinka, Safin. Nalbandian, among the top 5 power backhands of the last 20 years. Federer, Djokovic and others don't hit the 90+mph backhand as consistently and Gasquet can't hit them in the big moments. Them probably has the hardest average groundstroke speed until the new gen of Alcaraz and Sinner. Stan has pulled those backhand screamers out in the biggest moments, breakpoints, tiebreaker, grand slam finals you name it.
