Funny how he 'solves' the problem of the difficulty of a one hander over the shoulder by increasing his shoulder height by 10 inches this way. He likes fast courts so he really needs this shot to play the way he plays. I think we'll be seeing more of this, fortunately
Of course at his level it suits him but for lower level players like me getting air borne to hit forehands or backhands until they're a winner might get exhausting to say the least...
I would really like this guy to get what it takes to be top 3, even 1, in the world. His backhand is just a thing of pure beauty (and power, of course). Go, Denis!
My guess is that Shapovalov learned how to play this to shut down cheeky players who would hit high top spin forehands to his backhand when he was younger. Being a lefty, it takes some real balls to go with a one handed backhand. For me, being a right handed player, the one handed backhand was all about having a better backhand. My slice became a lot better and and when a player was foolish enough to hit the ball to the sweet spot, I rewarded them by giving them a break and ending the point with an insane winner down the line or at some crazy angle.
His backhand is his strength and weakness at the same time. With a one handed backhand you need to be able defend and redirect effectively with a slice. That allows you to be patient and choose when and how to attack. Every great one handed backhander has it: Federer, Thiem, Wawrinka. Dennis practically doesnt have it which makes him very inconsistent. That is the biggest weakness of his right now as far as I am concerned and the reason he hasnt won a tournament yet. May be a switch to Yuzniy as a coach will make a difference. He should also improve return and the game around the net. But the later two I see some improvement this year. So work on a backhand slice and make it your weapon. Otherwise it will continue being: great victories and highlight shots and no titles
Yes he needs the slice ball, correct. I love my BH slice and so many players have no clue what to do with it especially if I hit is aggressively X/C to their usual BH.
Yes, agreed. To get to the top, you need to have as many tools in your arsenal as possible. Only maybe one or two things will be your weapons but the other skills need to be strong enough to not get exploited
I think like you! If you want i have a RUclips channel where I do some pronostics and players following videos. You can check it if you want and suscribe to it!
It's best to name this signature move as: "Denis Shapovalov's Patented One-Legged Backhand" It would be awesome to make a video of compilations of the most well-known signature moves in tennis of different players like: Roger Federer's SABR (Sneaky Attack By Roger) & Pete Sampras Dunk Smash as an examples.
He’s mastered this move. Initially I thought it was from his being able to get a bit more height...but Idt just a couple inches would do that. It seems it really is just an effective and powerful shot! And fun to see🙂
@@catedoge3206 2:13 Shapo hit that backhand in parallel not cross court. In parallel is more difficult than cross court because you barely have space to get the ball in
It's not like this shot was not there in the books but very few or no one else could play it the way Shapo does i have seen Justin Henin use the split kick backhand and maybe couple of times or more seen Federer execute the shot, but not as good as Shapo does.
GOAT of jumping backhands

Juan Portilla Morales JUANKYYY
Dimitorov probably can do this

this shot is so freaking beautiful and powerful, I just can't get enough
His one handed backhands are kind of revolutionary. He rufuses to slice. Lol
1:23
2:36
@maccajoe He's only 20. Give him time. If he figures out his consistency issues he'll be very difficult to stop.
Yess, unlike Rafa, who being a tennis ninja, keeps slicing every backhand
@@johndunlap9139 now it's likely he's never gonna get back to top player tier
You know you're in trouble when Shapovalov skyrockets off the ground...
Not really, most often ends in an unforced error

@maccajoe Perhaps but it helps with the height issue too.
John Dunlap that’s quite exactly what he is speaking of
Of course at his level it suits him but for lower level players like me getting air borne to hit forehands or backhands until they're a winner might get exhausting to say the least...
easily one of the coolest looking shots on the tour
They are the things of beauty! Joyful to watch
Loved that they mentioned Marcelo Rios when Shapo was playing against Garin
si wn, muy buena

Go, Denis!
Shapo is such an exciting player on court with great energy. Hope he manages to break through and challenge the top 3.
Dennis just 20 now.Such a promising canadian ❤
IMHO: He's the most promising talent in all of tennis.
That thing is wild.
2 last service games against Gerasimov today - 3 aces in a row in each of these. That deserves a compilation as well.

Nobody does it like him 😳 he is so good to find velocity in this jumps
I searched "jumping backhand" thinking i would find the classic 2 hand backhand then i find this beauty!! As a fellow 1 hander this made my night 😢
0:04 when someone has that reaction, you know you did something good.
He is so entertaining. Pure shot making ability!
Out of all the shots in tennis ...this is got to be the sickest one ......
The most beautiful shot I've ever seen in tennis : Federer jumping forehand and shapovalov jumping backhand.
El revés con salto es una delicia y que sea a una mano le da el toque elegante.
Shapo puro talento 🔥🔥🔥
3:00, even Sugita wants to see it again!. Great Shapo.
Tennis needs flamboyance like this.

It looks ridiculous and majestic at the same time. So joyous.
Fire. As noted below though he needs a slice to go with it. Then he's really FIRE.
Gorgeous shot
I feel like I'm gonna dislocate my shoulder just by watching this. (I also play with a one handed backhand)

I started with a one handed about 2 weeks and yea my arm is sore cus I’m not used to it
I agree. I tried doing these jumping one handed backhands and it gets so tiring too.

it's such a deadly weapon, requires a lot of flexibility and control
Love this guy
If Fed had incorporated that against Nadal in the double aughts I wonder if it would have helped??
Such great balance neede for a difficult shot. He good big mood.
Specially if you play it in parallel
@@AnCapone1899 what do you mean?

@@AnCapone1899 yes yes. very tricky shot. needs a lot of precision and accuracy.
Amazing.
Ждем больших побед от Дениса
Unreal
That's amazing, even Federer can't do that!!!!
Federer is more classy I doubt that federer couldn’t do that. But it is an awesome shot!
He just don’t need to do that.
@@matiasespina1490 yeah
@@husnulfikri9071 sort of, but I would liked to see more power from him in the backhand
I kinda wish that the coaching wisdom of the day wasn't sword(forehand)+shield(backhand). I want to see players with 2 weapons.
If you think you are the coolest,humble yourself!
No one is cooler than Shapo while hitting a jump backhand.
Video of Sock's forehands & serves...
Iiiiitttssss the showtime
If you make him have to hit this shot you're already winning. He only makes about one in a several billion attempts.
Shapo will replace Wawrinka. Nice.
Cannot understand why and how this guy isn't a Grand Slamer champion . has All the shots...
He'll be better than nadal one day
It's not like this shot was not there in the books but very few or no one else could play it the way Shapo does i have seen Justin Henin use the split kick backhand and maybe couple of times or more seen Federer execute the shot, but not as good as Shapo does.
They should call that jump-backhand the shapovalov or the shapo!
Marcelo Rios has the trademark. greetings
When you have such a beautiful winner up your sleeve, why slice?
has anyone notice Shapo always makes a slice, fake left then repositions for the backhand winner
If you're having trouble with high one handed backhands just make yourself a foot taller _lol_
