Hitting this backhand -> on a match point -> for the trophy of the French Open -> against Novak must be one of the most satisfying points ever. And he celebrated it in such a humble way! Kudos to Stan the man.
One thing I think Stan does to generate more power on the backhand is something a coach once taught me: Hold the racquet in your off hand and pull forward with your dominant hand while still holding the racquet back with the off hand. This "pre-loads" the racquet so when you let loose the off hand, the racquet springs forward from the tension in your muscle. You can't do this on a forehand or with a two-handed backhand.
They're all great shots but those backhands he blasted like cannonballs against Djokovic in that French Open final are some of the greatest shots ever made in the history of the game!
He's awesome. Stan the Man. I'm always mesmerized when I see him doing down the line at will. Especially match point down? 😯 Amazing.. How much belief for a low-percentage shot.
@@qsfrankfurt9513 the last person Djokovic wanted to see in his draw in a Grand Slam was Stan Wawrinka. Wawrinka holds the monopoly in Grand Slams since he hit his stride in the 2014 Australian Open where he beat Djokovic. He should have beaten him the year before.
Stan is just pure power...he could hit through anyone, even Djokovic. Think if he got his mind right earlier he could've snuck into the Big 4 but he's still a legend.
Fantastic video! highlighting the fact that Stan has the best one handed backhand in the world! It's sheer offensive power is a weapon that no other player has ever matched. Stans accuracy is also incredible whilst launching a force of power so immense that the ball still manages to land in court. These skills are just not human and Stan deserves all the praise he gets. Us tennis fans are lucky that Stan is displaying these incredible skills for us to all watch in awe! Stan has proven to the world that a one handed backhand can be an immense weapon against the best of the best! He is awesome! & so unique.
i could not agree more. I watch his match replays more than anyone else- including Federer! Im glad he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. His backhand alone should be!!
His one handed BH is exceptional, 10 out of 10 for beauty, power, depth & accuracy, under attacked passing shot backhand winners is his greatest weapon..
Wawrinka's backhand was a lot like Stefan Edberg's. Both were beautiful shots that were most effective for hitting winners while under attack. This worked most of the time for Edberg on grass. Back then points were short. But neither man could use their backhand as a reliable rally shot.
Love the music with this, it fits perfectly. I also love seeing people’s faces when he burns them down the line. Murray is frustrated, Nishikori is amused/appreciates the skill/artistry, and Djokovic cannot fathom anyone could beat him.
He is top 1, not just one of top 3. Way better than Federer and Gasquet. He is the only one who is not afraid of Novak's overload on backhand, while Federer is so prone to that. His offensive backhand is in much higher level than Federer's
@@minhtrinh5981 imo it's somewhat similar to Federer's backhand, but on a lot of steroids, more power and much harder to overload while retaining most of the beauty on the swing.
It is indeed like playing and or watching someone with two forehands. A killer shot. If I could have anyones backhand from any generation of tennis, it would be Stan's. It's the best.
Wawrinka's backhand is more high risk. He hits flatter and, yes, he can penetrate the court better at times and produce stunning winners, but his backhand is also prone to errors. In their matches Gasquet always tries to set up crosscourt backhand rallies with Stan because he knows Stan's backhand will cough up the error before he does. Gasquet can hit 20 backhands in a row. Stan struggles to hit five without an error. So Stan's backhand is a great passing shot, but not a good rally shot. Similar to Stephan Edberg.
ah, the video i needed, after my very personal conclusion of saying: „dude, is there any better backhand out there, is it only me who recognizes this??“ thanks u guys for that one;)
Watch how Stan accepts his Grand Slam victories ... no stupidity, just humility, awareness, politeness, and sportsmanship. the young whippersnappers of today and tomorrow - take good notes!!!
Stan has the best power backhand, I'll have to admit that as a Federer fan. Roger has more shoulder rotation and thus his backhand is more focussed on spin. Stan's racket face on the other hand more so drives through the ball as his wrist opens up more.
@@geemy9675 Federer's backhand was the reason that he lost to Nadal else he was better than Nadal in every aspect. On his comeback in 2017, his backhand was massive improvement and Nadal couldn't cope up with him in AO.
BACKHAND PRIVATE OWNERSHIP the one hand backhand is Wawrinka private property it belong to him. He rules it decide how to use it which effect to give to the ball (cross - down the line) which line to hit which speed which side of the racket to use ( he is the only one to hit backhand with 3 side of the racket...up, down , top)
For a straight passing shot, there is no one better, but for an overall backhand.....angles, touch, finesse etc., plus passing shots, Federer has Stan covered. Period.
Especially Fed's neo-backhand, late in his career, with the larger racket -- 2017 Indian Wells, after he won the AO. That was the most amazing stroke in tennis, forehand or backhand, I've seen. Touch, power, topspin, slice, location all over the court, SABR, net play -- almost no chance we'll ever see a backhand like that again. That's my biggest regret about his retirement -- losing the chance to see his neo-backhand at its peak. If only he had switched to that size racket ten years earlier... Or if he could play until he's 50.
Wrarinka is legend admired even for the greatest and those who wins him. A cannyon man. The gestures of Big Four Andy Murray and Big One Djocovic overwhelmed honours him.
What amazes me is that. I can hit a great 1 hander if the ball is exactly 2 feet of the ground with minimal top spin. Stan can hit any ball ever hit across the court with his.
Strings his poly rpm blast at 61 lbs and racquet weight is 370 grams. That thing is a sledgehammer he’s welding. His one backhand is simply the best in the game. He got a rocket launcher for a BH and his form and technique is perfect down to the fundamentals. All that power comes from the weight of his racquet and how he leverages his hips
But it is not a reliable rally shot, and most players prefer to attack Stan's backhand, just as they do Federer, because for both the backhand is the weaker side and more error prone. That was Nadal's game plan against both: attack their backhands. Nobody attacked Gasquet's backhand. They attacked his forehand.
@@gordonipock9385 u must be blind. I know Roger and Stan are from the same country but one has a massive bomb and the other was conservative until later in his career. Nadal picked on Roger’s BH not Stan. Go back and watch Roger later in his career when he started to adapt by attacking more with his BH, he was winning more against Nadal due to that.
AO Final 2014 first set set ball! Absolute incredible back hand return! If you don't have insert it, this would be missed very much! And he can wear terrifying shorts while he makes one of the best long line passing shots! 😇👍
Greatest "one handed" backhand ever? How about just the greatest backhand ever! Period. If you watch his game and movement on the court he had no business reaching top 10 let alone top 5 in the world! He won 3 slams with his backhand. Truly Incredible! (I guess it helped when he pointed at his head too)
Not for Gasquet. That's how he beat Stan and Federer: setting up backhand-to-backhand rallies. Stan and Fed used their serves and forehands to beat Gasquet.
@@gordonipock9385 Gaudio would also favor himself in backhand to backhand rallies against Wawrinka.. He had for me the best, most solid one handed backhand in tennis. Even better than Gasquet which was a bit too loopy for my taste.
Federer's backhand is better. He's BH return is better, his consistency is better, there's not much difference on Power and Spin from set position, I think Wawrinka's is bigger when set. Half volley BH Federer, etc. Fed just get stick for Nadal beating him in finals bashing his BH but he got to finals and he won a few Majors. Fed 23 - 3 Waw Djo 21 - 6 Waw Nad 19 - 3 Waw Wawrinka was not dominating with his BH. I can;t be bothers to do the Fed H2H but I guess it's better and can't be attributed to serve and FH alone. Note: the Return Of Serve is 1st or 2nd most important point and Wawrinka BH is compromised on return.
@@GarlMemory Stans BH was the best when he was set and could use his strong torso. Federer was better every other time. Feder was better at half volleys be it SABR or on baseline being forces. Better on serve return. Better on run. Better since. Maradona's right foot is no where near as good as his left but it doesn't make it weak. You're comparing one of the greatest FH of all time against his BH and saying its not as good. Major weakness? 20 Majors? I can mention players with nearly as good FH with zero majors. So its his weakness but its not weak. Waw's BH is getting over rated based on setup power position. Go watch a Federer v Waw match as they will play BH to BH a lot then say his is better after his loss. There H-H 23-3. Nadal works both BH over and starts from neutral serve and check the H-H. Federers best OHBH there is. Edbegs was very conditional due to grip and lack of topspin, aimed to get him to net. Lendl broke down into slice far to often.
He probably has been practicing that since he was 14. Some people start with a two and then switch over to a one. He probably started with a one, so in those formative years, he really got to dial it in.
A video i totally agree on. His backhand is a work of art and absolutely majestic. The one handed backhand is a dying race for reasons i have no idea why. Sad
He also has tge ability and guts to go for those 1HB winners at important points even when doen break point ,set point ehich is low percentage which distinguishes him from federer
Anyone who knows anything about tennis will agree that Stan's is the best one handed backhand in history. The shot at 6:35 is still the greatest shot I've ever seen.
In terms of strength, wawrinka's backhand may be the strongest with one hand, but the strength of the backhand cannot be judged in terms of speed alone. There are other touches, such as the slice and voley, or shooting from difficult angles and positions. Therefore, I see that Federer's backhand is the one that combines all these features. We do not forget that when Federer wants to hit the backhand very quickly, he does that as well.
His backhand was most powerful especially his ability to hit downthe line when other 1HB players would go cross court. He struggled against nadal for sMe reasons as federer. He didn't do well against federer though except in RG 2015 where he blew fed away
He didn’t start playing tennis until he was 14 either imagine how good he would’ve been had he started earlier. He wouldn’t have entered his prime so late and he’d have more than 3 slams
I changed to 1h BH bcs of federer, his backhand is so fluid and beautiful, however with time I realized that his 1H backhand was not the best in the game, wawrinkas is hands down THE best no debate.
Djokovic 21 - 6 Wawrinka Pretty sure Djokovic had him worked out. Federer 23 -3 Wawrinka Federer didn't have issues with Wawrinka's backhand to backhand.
His BH stance is so beautiful and well executed, it isn't talked about enough...
What are you talking about, Wawrinka's backhand is praised everywhere nowadays, on basically every social media platform lol
Dude, it is.
Dude, it is.
He is talking about stance, not just the bh. The positioning and angle of swing that comes from the stance.
@@TanJerone The one who reads well. Thx.
Hitting this backhand
-> on a match point

Yeah the brazillian of millenial tennis.iwas there in indonesia
Magnifique Stan, tu nous a fait rêver durant ces belles années. On espère te voir à Gstaad en 2024 ❤

The one handed BH the most beautiful thing in tennis
It’s such a shame that there are less and less single backhanded players.
Mainly comes from the return being such an important stroke in the modern game.
Can watch this on and on and on...

You know when it's so good that the opponent just stops. "Yea I ain't getting that."

In their matches it becomes obvious Gasquet has the better backhand. It's not even close.
@@gordonipock9385 Why do you say Gasquet has a better one? For me Gasquet gets the most style points but Wawrinka can really penetrate more

wawrinka is my fav player, i try to emulate him on court as i have a single handed backhand with similar style
for me its also just aesthetically pleasing
It just doesn’t get any better than that. Mechanics like a Swiss watch.
Wawrinka brings the heavy artillery.
If only he was more consistent, he could have blown Murray, Delpo and the other Big 3 rivals out of the water
Exactly with this lethal weapon he should have won more titles.

I changed to 1h BH bcs of federer, his backhand is so fluid and beautiful, however with time I realized that his 1H backhand was not the best in the game, wawrinkas is hands down THE best no debate.
Even Stefan Edberg
Djokovic’s only weakness: not figuring out how to play a guy that, for all intents and purposes, has 2 forehands.
Djokovic 21 - 6 Wawrinka
Pretty sure Djokovic had him worked out.
Federer 23 -3 Wawrinka
Federer didn't have issues with Wawrinka's backhand to backhand.
@@72PMChambers sorry if I upset you. 2-0 in slam finals against Djokovic and the only player to beat him in his prime at the Australian Open
