Her forehand is very inspiring to me. Her grip changes in a very unorthodox way: Not only does she grab the racquet with both hands as you see, but also her right hand is placed above her left one so as to increase the power. I tried it for several months and most of my opponents told me my forehand speed got much faster. Now I use my right hand only. But I'm thinking about going back to double-handed forehand since I can hardly increase the power due to the fatal weakness of my right wrist.
❓❗ What are you talking about?! In this video she is playing a regular lefty backhand and a regular righty backhand. The only really unusual thing is that she is playing backhands on both sides and no forehands.
@@glipabazza9994 I don't think that's completely right. Her forehand looks a lot like a lefty backhand, but then she does something I've never seen players do with their backhands, which is to let go of the racket with the left hand on follow-through. Well, Borg did that too, but completely the other way around, as in he finished the follow-through as if he was hitting a one-handed backhand, and Hsieh finishes as if she was hitting a regular forehand. It's a bit weird!
I am kind of ambidextrous, my backhand always was my best shot, my forehand being my weekest shot by far!!! One day, I "naturally" tried with 2 "backhands", and it worked!!! Only true problem is the grip switch when it goes fast!!! It Takes time, But it works.
she's simply playing with 2 backhands ( 1 lefty person bachkand, and 1 righty person backhand). Perfect simetry. Another option of simetry would be playing with 2 forehands by changing the racket from one hand to the other.
Most men are stronger on the forehand side, but many women, maybe even most women, seem to be stronger on the backhand side: Wozniacki and Venus come to mind. Not a bad idea to pay with two power backhands....
I knew a guy who was top ten in New England in the USTA open level. He played with two backhands, also. I saw him beat a very good serve and volley player handily, running side to side and hitting one great passing shot after another...how he changed grips so quickly and effectively was amazing.....
So it doesn't make Su-wei have two handed forehand because she is always switching hands on both side. It's kind of different with Bartoli, Peng Shuai, or Fabrice Santoro. They have two handed forehand because when hitting the balls, their right hand's position is always below their left hand. Maybe Su-wei has two handed backhand on both side? Which makes her no-forehand player?? I don't know... Anw, always interesting to watch her game
@@fabianjoy12875 Very, very few people have won as many as her, and even fewer people win with so many different partners. She's clearly a very important reason why her partnerships win.
大ファンです。
フラットスイング、凄く勉強になります。
How on EARTH does Hsieh switch that grip so quickly?! Especially on return of serve. Yikes.

Actually,she has no forehand ! Backhand on both sides!
@@大力-b2r 100% right. Different with peng shuai. She has two handed forehand & backhand.

No forehand here, mate. Hsieh has 2 backhands.

Sure ! No forehand at all.
@@joemarshall4226 I always found this strange too. Some women will even run around their forehand to hit a backhand!
Do not try what she does. She is a special human being. It would ruin your game.

She plays with two backhands...no doubt. I wonder if she hits a lot of those slice shots because she got caught with the wrong grip.....
she is a marvel player... despite her smallness...love her drop shots n make everyone run around the court...n make them fools
here afer Gill Gross mentioned her FH as one of the most unorthodox
No slam
She plays doubles mostly and she does have slam titles. She just won 2 titles at the Australian open. One for mixed doubles, one for ladies doubles.
@@elbis1964 not hers but share

Her small hands make it so much easier too :D
