For me, he is overrated. I know, that he won 3 GS's, but overall he started playing quality tennis at the age of 28, since the end of 2013 till the half of 2017. He was ranked in top 10 5x, Murray 9x, Djokovic 12x, Roger 17x, Nadal 15x, Tsonga 6x, Berdych 7x. I don't think Stan is much better than Tsonga or Berdych, but for sure much worse than the Big 3 plus Andy.
@@TheDymeR he beat prime Djokovic in final Australia open and final Roland Garros, how many player that can beat prime Djokovic in 2 consecutive years in a row? I don't think he's overrated but highly inconsistent. When he's on fire nothing can stop him.
Big Stan's backhand is one of the most beautiful things in sport. The fact he can go cross court or down the line with almost total disguise is incredible.
Sachin - I feel like the do different things. Fed has nuance and artistry while Stan can punch through a wall. Both amazing. But I’d prob take Stan’s. Interestingly I think Henin is a combination of both which is why hers was so highly rated.
@@Ineddiblehulk Fed's is actually extremely fast when he rips through it. He can get up to around 100 mph. I've yet to see a speed reading of Stan that exceeds that mark (though I wouldn't be surprised if there is one).
Stan's win against Djokovic in the French Open final was possibly the best match I've ever seen. Nadal would have had his hands full with Stan that day.
John Dunlap agreed. He was a monster that day. In all reality he should have won in straight sets. He lost the first set on a few loose shots here and there.
The best single handed backhand groundstroke there is. Can hit winners and angles from anywhere, from any height, with immense power and control. 👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Jimnosnow 4 stan have a powerful one, but gasquet have a backhand for which he can produce more topsin and pace with incredible angles. Only problem is he needs less than half a second more for that stroke
You will so hate me for this, but according to stats, Thiem's the best. Stan attacks a bit more often with the bh than Thiem, but Thiem's attack-winner-percentage is a bit higher and his bh is also significantly faster than Stan's (in all categories, his average bh speed and his average bh winner speed and his fastest bh (which happens to be the record with 104 mph, followed by Nadal and Gasquet with both 103 mph)
@@juliannaser4017 interesting stuff. I have not looked into the stats to that degree but they always throw up interesting tidbits. I think the winner to error ratio will be better for Thiem because he is not as aggressive as Stan. Also Stan has gone off the rails in last couple of years since his injuries so has lost a lot of matches. The stats no doubt include the recent years in decline. Thiem on the other hand has been on the rise last couple of years and is in his prime right now. Worth bearing in mind, it is not all about power either. Stan’s backhand is so good because of the angles and power combination. Also the control and depth and ability to change direction. I know if I could have any one players single hander, it would be Stan the man!
Wawrinka can exchange in diagonal with Rafa's forehand and even win the rally.. Overall his must be the most unreal backhand in history. Powerful, accurate, versatile and solid. Amazing.
@@lukeinvictus Djokovic was at his peak on Clay at this time and he could have troubled even the greatest Nadal on Clay just look even if Nadal wasn't at his prime he was still on Clay there beaten by Wavrinka in the 1/4. He won 3-1 in final against Djoko and would have won 95-100% of Nadal in RG finals... he had the best back hand ever in history at this time we aren't talking consistency here but a precise moment where he was just the greatest ever.

It did work against Nadal during this period of 3 years sir.
It’s the perfect backhand. The short angels cross court, the power he gets, the way he can decide to pull the trigger down the line whenever he wants. One of the most dangerous/beautiful shots in tennis
The man known for his ridiculously paced and angled backhands and dominant shots..a humble human being..wishing you a very happy b'day. -Fan Actually the video contains some of his rare shots..
Stan Wawrinka and Denis Shapovalov are my favorite backhands to watch. Bar none. If you didn't watch them swing, you'd swear it was a forehand coming across the net. They can deliver crippling power at absurd angles off both wings and that's something that very few players can do. It's breathtaking to watch.
Shapo’s backhand is very pretty, but on average he generates a lot less pace and depth than his own forehand. He only occasionally finds the time to rip a huge one. Wawrinka’s average backhand genuinely has forehand levels of pace and depth.
Wawrinka definitely has the best one hander in the game. Not only are these shots amazing but it's against mostly the big 3 lol. Just shows you this guy is no joke.

The single handed backhand of Wawrinka. The double handed backhand of Djokovic. The forehand of Federer. The overhead and serve of Sampras. The volley of Federer. The movement of Djokovic. The endurance of Nadal.
Stan The Man, uno de mis ídolos en el tenis y el jugador que me inspira a hacer revés a una mano...sin duda dentro los 5 mejores de Backhand a una mano de la historia.
Only thing about Stan is his consistency in his level of play. He should have won a lot more slams. As for his backhand, unmatched in power and precision
If Stan was consintent during all of his career instead of just the big 3 we would be talking about the big 4 ( Federer , Nadal , Djokovic and Wawrinka ) .... For me Stan is the second most talented tennis player that i ever watched only behind Federer
It's too bad they can't show clips from his French and U.S. Open final wins against Djokovic. Those are, to me, when he completely went into god mode and was crushing every backhand fed to him.
There are many views in tennis that are debatable ( who is the best ever, best to watch, best serve etc etc ). One thing that is not debatable is who has the best one handed Backhand ever. Stan has so far put that argument to rest. Dead and buried so far under it's oozing shale oil! I wish him back. Really miss his ability to create fear and doubt in Novak and Rafa.
love when people claim absolutes when the stats say otherwise. aesthetically and subjectively, no doubt one of the best. trying to claim inarguable best when there are higher speeds and winner percentages from others is just plain bias. cheers though~
The first time I watched Stan was actually all the way back in 2010 when I bought tickets to the Aussie Open in Melbourne and he obliterated Andy Roddick with that backhand
When he pulls the trigger on that down the line backhand the opponent is in trouble. Hardly anyone can hit it with such power and angle and that too in pressure points like stan.
Federer's backhand was always great, and in some cases better than Wawrinka (like slices, drop shots, change of directions). The problem is his mentality/confidence.
Federer's backhand is better than Wawrinka's what are you talking about ?? He has the more variety and has been way more consistent with it in his career .
@@anisbougrab4725 ¿Variety? I've never seen Wawrinka take the ball early all the time like Federer does, or hit slices like Federer does, or drop shots, or half-volleys, or volleys. Also, tactically Federer is better. The only things Wawrinka's backhand is better, are raw power and consistency (due to his technique).
Wawrinka is so underrated, a lot of people outside of tennis don't even know who he is but he's a real quality player, one of the best of the decade.
For me, he is overrated. I know, that he won 3 GS's, but overall he started playing quality tennis at the age of 28, since the end of 2013 till the half of 2017.

Stan is my favorite player
It's THE shot that brings a smile to every tennis fan's face
The footwork, the preparation, the backhand goodness, the motion, the gesture, the finish, the touch: so good to watch
The fact my tennis coach uses him as an example is a great example of your statement. It's simple yet elegant
Un stoppable when he is in good mood. My favorite tennis player.
I can watch his backhands all day long) insane angles and immense power. The best one in the tour!

These backhands are lethal for 3 reasons:
The angle
The power
Ball goes on to or right next to the line

Greatest single handed BH ever. Because of that surprise element, I love powerful single handers better than double handers
With single hand you get more reach.
With two hand you limit your self.
Just imagine how solid your shoulder has to be for that !

Woah that backhand has power, and consitansy
Imagine Del Po' s Monster Forehand and Stan the Man' s Monster Backhand together in one guy.

Never really noticed how good his backhand was. Holy crap. That spin he puts on it. How he can disguise it too.
Well his forehand is as lethal as his backhand !
