When it comes to greatness in tennis, Roger Ferderer is a name that would certainly stand out on top. Throughout his years as a professional tennis player, he not only stunned everyone but also brought a unique touch to a game with his one-handed backhand. In an era that was majorly dominated by his rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic‘s 2 handed backhands, Federer changed the dynamics of the game.
Reflecting on the same, Jimmy Connors, in a recent podcast came ahead and went down the tennis line while revealing how one-handed backhand players brought more fun and excitement to the game.
In a tennis world that is highly dominated by two-handed backhands, Roger Federer’s one-handed backhand is a mesmerizing nod to tradition. In a recent podcast, Brett Connors came ahead and appreciated its “cool” and “classic” appeal. On the other hand, Jimmy Connors suggested that it was “beautiful to watch.”
“There’s something really pretty about the one hander, you know, like when when, when they just load up and they extend and they’re kind of like, you know, their arms are spread apart and the chest goes out like if in front of their body they put throw everything into it. It’s a it’s kind of cool looking. It feels like kind of like classic like old school, you know what I mean?” said Brett while talking about the unique style that one-handed backhand players brought into the game.
