Just watched highlights of her match with Fernandez. She hit mostly slice backhands. Only one solid backhand in the first set. Great practice backhand, not so much so in match play.
Fernandez hits at very early timings, at the rising path almost 80% of the time (that is why she never positions too far behind the baseline). In many cases, she hits right after the ball bounces. This means for the opponents that shots come back earlier (a shorter time to react). So your observation makes sense because a slice backhand requires minimal preparation/takeback.
@@momotama8640 understood. She has 2 options to hitting a backhand. Step back a few steps off the baseline or shorten her backswing to hit a driving backhand. The video was touting her backhand as being great. she also hit the slice on the backhand side that landed short.
@@txlonghorn638 it is a great backhand when you see it in practice. The video claims best female backhand. Watched her match with sakarri last night. She hit mostly slice backhands and maybe that is her strategy. It almost worked. She also runs around her backhand to hit a forehand. She has a solid forehand and obviously believes in it. I always would swing away in practice as well. But, how i practiced is how I played in matches. Not a confused critic. An educated one who calls it like I see it.
i'm old school one-hand, but if i was 12 years old again, i'd go with two hands. unless your name is Wawrinka or Gasquet or Thiem, the power *and* consistency of one hand just ain't what you get from two, especially on the return. of course, we can still hit the slice one-handed. yes, of course, the great one-handers are beautiful and elegant, much more aesthetically pleasing, and many two-handers are actually ugly, but what's the point of being beautiful if you lose? there's no bonus points for being pretty, at least on a tennis court.
She would dominate most matches if she trusted her bh more, but I guess she just doesn't. She she waaaay too make timid, conservative slices that gradually allow her opponents to take over the point. Too bad, cause she's got the skills and the technique to do it, unlike Tsitsipas, who has a train wreck of a bh, with more mis-hits than you can count.
The ability to play nearer to the baseline has nothing to do with a player having a 1-handed vs. a 2 handed backhand. It has to do with the player's overall speed and agility.
Love Henin's backhand back in the day but Parry's backhand is a thing of beauty! Haven't seen a backhand that beautiful on WTA in a while!!
Has to be the best female OHB in a long time... super clean!!
Viktorija Golubic's is quite gorgeous!
Reminds me of kohlschreiber.
I loved that of Carla Suarez Navarro
Thanks for sharing this...she's got a new fan in me.
Gorgeous ball striking!
Thanks for showing the side angle as well
A thing of beauty
glorious...wish her luck, she s just awesome for sticking to the 1 hander
Perfect form for a one-handed backhand.
A really relaxed stroke.
Nice to see this.. I am impressed!
my favorite
Just hope she would get as far as possible.
Female single-handed backhand player, a rare spicy these days. Another good one is Vik Golubic from Switzerland.
It is good. Would like to see it in match play to see its effectiveness. Like her footwork, which helps set up the stroke.
Like all one-handers, her most favorable surface should be clay. Think she’s had decent results 2 or 3 years in a row @ Roland Garros
@@TheDeadlyKnight she is French.
Could you please upload a video of Paolini of Kalinskaya? Your footage quality is the best.
Thanks for sharing but why is it so short?
Beautiful Backhand! I don't know if against someone likes Sabalenka she can make points or put some difficults in her opponent...
The way she lays the wrist reminds me of Stan
Looks like she modeled her 1HBH after Stan's.
More Mauresmo than Henin -ish?
love to see women's single backhand.
Ms. Parry's backhand is a thing of beauty. Takes me back to Ms. Henin and Ms. Moresmo. Lost art, unfortunately.
She's using the proper racket for it!
rf97 is the best, but maybe to heavy for her
steam 100
she has eastern grip right?
is it me or she doesn’t change her grip at all as she goes from FH to BH.
El mejor golpe en el tenis, los esthuphidhos profesores de ahora deben de enseñarlo
I don’t want to start a gender debate but her technique is way closer to ATP’s than the WTA’s usual wider and slower strokes we usually see.
You can definitely tell shes been inspired by Fed
美しい…
yes
Looks like Gasquet backhand
philipp kohlschreiber ?
Extreme grip or just standard eastern backhand grip?
extreme
@@yakzivz1104 yes, Ryan from 2mintennis also made a video about her bh the other day
😍
It's nice with the Henin grip, but she's just standing there knowing they're coming.
She is the only one. Of course she is the best
i played welby's wall many times this is warinkas twin sis
Fomentemos el revés a una mano 👍🏻🎾

@@Mickey63487 In fact, Parry won this match vs Fernandez. Parry's slice backhand is also very good and effective.
@philrich is just being salty for nothing. What a confused critic!

Most hands become second nature, it’s when the shit it’s the fan is when the best hands are played
I wonder why she adopted this stroke? I thought youth coaches stopped juniors from playing w/ it
Viktorjia Golubic has the best one handed in WTA since Suarez Navarro retired. Parry's is quite unstable actually.

You are clueless
No the best but the only one!!
Non frequent to see a female player hitting a one handed backhand.
Some players just insist on an obsolete one-hander for publicity.
The only* one hand backhand in the WTA.
I love Diana's game, but with a one hander she has difficulty playing around the baseline. The women's game is full of two handed bashers.
The ability to play nearer to the baseline has nothing to do with a player having a 1-handed vs. a 2 handed backhand. It has to do with the player's overall speed and agility.
@@williamc4221 that's one opinion
@@pawshands9706 Justene Henin...Roger Federer....
@@williamc4221 Roger is Roger, but Henin had a very physical and risky style. She was able to hit early and took many chances. Diane isn't
@@williamc4221 Actually that's half the story. Hand eye coordination and footwork are way more important.
Sounds good in theory but in actual matches she slices 90% of her backhands.
Same for all of us :-)
これじゃ勝てんな。
Also, is it a mass-produced Federer?
The one who can't hit down the line.
Good grief.
If you want to do a backhand, do Wawrinka, not Federer.
Her backhand doesn't look like Federers at all.
which grip use Wawrinka ?
@@lartisan6274
This grip is closer to Back Eastern than this grip.
I think Henin would be better. Wawrinka had more power in his OHB but he was also stockier, I'm sure that helped.
You are really funny
