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.
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
could watch for hours. So Satisfying ! The hitting spot, the sound, the move, all perfectly aligned to deliver a great shot. Those guys really their craft !
@@zy9662 Tsitsipas has arguably one of the top 5 forehands right now and has crazy good technique when actual coaches look at the slomo's, calling it bad is a terrible take
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
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

Both backhand and forehand of Tsitsipas are a thing of beauty. So pure, clean and powerfull. I can watch this all day and only dream of being able to swing like that. Hahaha.
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.
He has one of the most sturdy one handed back hand ever but he does not have a good slice game and there is only so much you can do by being on the back foot with a one hander
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.
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.
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.
Well, you’re fooled because it is the backhand of a professional and of course it beautiful to see with this angle. But look at the deepth of those shots, it will never be enough against top 20 players now. In addition, the speed doesn’t seem so amazing. Sometimes it’s good to play flat backhand to take time to the opponent, and it seems that Stephanos can’t do this.
Can you believe this is the backhand that looked "weak" in real matches? Crazy!
its better on clay. he doesn't struggle with generating power. he struggles with timing when he's rushed or under psychological pressure.
Good comment
@@bonzwah1I'll have To check that cause he def struggling

Most beautiful venue ever.
Agree ❤
Pietrangeli court in Rome is also stunning
@@alexb.8038 Agreed. Hope to see it in person (in action) one day.
Nah mostly mediocre building in the background, I've seen better courts.
I can watch this all day, simply awesome
this backhand won't allow him to win a major title..
Unexpectedly satisfying! His groundstrokes are so clean, the sound of the strings, the angle, one-handed... Perfect footage!
Yes, just amazing
Technique is very bad in both the FH and the BH. He really doesn't use his body much. Look at Alcaraz for a good FH technique
@@zy9662He is still one of the top players. As for BH, his is better than Roger at his orimet
Lmao what ? Roger's backhand was way cleaner than tsitsipas' and had more power on it.@@sakshamsanwaria7486

That view of the city is insane
Stef's powerful elegant one handed backhand is a thing of beauty. Could watch Tsitsipas hit all day ❤🔥
No where near Dimitrov's. Last week those were missiles.
Powerful?? Dude has the worst backhand in the top 100😂😂😂
His backhand is average bro, almost never can be offensive with that shot and only resist from that side.

Tsitsi's bh is the worst on tour.
So clean, so precise. Good to see.
Imagine playing in that beautiful city
Beautiful? Hay partes de Móstoles más bonitas
@@oclhie monte carlo is a beautiful town stop the cap
I can, my whole childhood :)
The sounds the echoes…wonderful
I'm always blown away by the practice partner. He's probably a nobody tour wise but he's amazing too
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.
@@radiohead2206that's correct, people don't realize the point of this drills is just the consistency and not to win points
they are hitting parters they are the same level but can't cope mentally
@@BoomTennis mentality is not the only component, movement raw power and overall tennis talent are also key, every pro player can hit the ball hard...
Magnifique!😍

Beautiful classic single handed backhand with the background of beautiful Monte Carlo city
ST swinging bh shot after shot after shot is delightful 2 watch 😎
Beautiful one backhand and it‘s really good
not realy...stef is the shankmeister
Not so good in real matches.
Nah it is not as graceful as others.
Is trash bro, at least if you compare it with his forehand
Too stiff with his extreme closed stance, not enough hip turn to start with the forward swing
His strokes sound like gunshots
Pls hire Wawrinka as ur coach once he retires to sort the backhand issue....
this comment didnt age well
Clueless people parroting back what they read in comments about his "weak backhand".
@@albertkafif5072 will definitely not... Look at the way Carlos is bullying him ....
Beatiful Oné it’is
Backhand very nice bravo !!!❤
glad to see one handed backhands in the mix.
how many times did you watch this so far?
At least 7x 😬😬
Wow is this Spain? Looks beautiful
I am a tennis coach I do not teach like this to myself. I play different but this titsipas has the best forehand on tour.
lol
My goodness that footwork too
He is really getting a piece of that ball. SLO Mo would blow my mind
Having a helluva tournament
Great backhand ✨️👊✨️
He is ripping the ball. And this is the guy who said had never seen anyone hit as hard like alcaraz
So clean
ahh, just delightful!
So beautiful strokes. I cant figure out how is is not with sinner rune alcaraz.... Hope he mentally atraighten it out this year
😮 that’s insanely good 👍
It looks so effortless
Bro what? Hes ripping that ball tf u mean effortless
@@jacob9583 yes, he’s ripping the ball but he is not muscling the ball.
I could play on clay courts if I was a professional tennis player. Just love that surface. 😊😊😊😊😊

Excelente reves
That backhand looks Wawrinka-like today!!
🎾Tzitsipas jujuba🌱
That one hander is sweeter than Yoo hoo. ❤
Thanks
Bloody hell...
Good for learners
buffff that drive a lot of speed
One of the best forehands in all of tennis!
what a joke
In the game right now? You can’t name 5 more with better forehands.
@@michaelpisano9886Guy probably thought you said backhand, or he doesn’t know what he’s talking about lol. That forehand is monstrous.
@@Tennis214 it’s a cheap imitation of fed’s forehand. He never attacks with it, he’s really bad…
Everybody plays at home
Everybody lives there
😮❤😊
You really need to whip that racket around to get that major topspin on the ball 😮
Powerful

sometimes i think single fist generates more power than double fist

Simply awesome style

THAT sound
So he does have a backhand
Preciosa técnica de revés
It's doesn't matter how good your backhand is you gotta win and beat the 2 top players
A machine
That forehand is Baby Delpo
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.
진짜 시원하다
Champion
La superficie, no se ve muy lenta, mejor para Los velocistas.... Sinner. Puede adaptarse mejor... 👍
Maybe 2024 is the year he actually hits a one handed backhand down the line. I wouldn't bet on it tho
His technique on both sides is perfect
Wowsers
nice
Cool and all but still under top10... 2 hand backhand just reigns supreme
bad ass backhand

He produced a phenomenal level of tennis at the 2021 French open - should have won that one - maybe this year he can replicate that form again 👏👏
Шруфф его отправит опять на тренировку😊

@@davspa6exactly, stef definitely needs some muscle condition, the technic is there just not the power
He’s good he should go pro
Stan's backhand is a liability. It's a consistent shot, but has no aggression. He needs to call Roger for some tips😂
THIS IS simply amazing
A praise for the partner!
Por que no tira paralela?
clay court?
Does he fire the backhand like this on matches?
On this clay yes

Cameras should be here for all matches. Always too far away.😮
Physical freak 💪💪💪
Yooo otw
Such a skinny guy pushing so hard. Amazing
repeito🎉
Most beautiful backhand in tennis.
Close range ATP nasty. Gona save this one..😮
Typ 30 material för sure!
Maybe just me -- but it looks like he's not looking at his opponent when he strikes the backhand.
Ce qui me fait rire, c est de voir son père jouer les entraîneurs
Very nice angle. Not a fan of his attitude, his hair nor his father with the covid mask in his likeness, but this looks amazing.
His forehand is elite. But backhand is like mine, every shot is a little lottery 😅
