No one can really pull the dropvolley off like Tsonga! They can, but not as frequently, think he has the edge over even Federer in that department(dropshots aside) A match between him and prime Mcenroe would be like 20 dropvolley winners combined lol, 13 by Mcenroe and 7 by Tsonga!

i would say that the dropvolley is an underrated shot, probably the most effective and nicelooking volley when done right and ofcause at the right time, done by many but mastered by few in the way Tsonga showed against Nadal, my fave are prop the halfvolleydropshot after a serve, Ridiculous touch! and when players mostly is on the baseline why not? Just don´t try to dropshot Fed, allways there to play a small pass.

I haven’t noticed it but I’m pretty sure it’s made by herself (since she’s a designer) or it’s by Nike. Don’t forget that she’s sponsored by Nike so she wears their merchandise most of the time.

Comment on How to Hit the Jump Two-Handed Backhand by sam

While we are talking about 2 handed backhands, I would like to find out what grip Rios used for both his hands on a 2HBH. I think it’s interesting to note that he most likely holds his dominant (left) hand in a semi-western forehand grip, while his upper hand is in a semi-western also. They seem to cancel each other out and result in a sort of continental-type flat shot and maybe the reason he has such a compact and powerful backhand. There is no grip change from forehand to backhand, the only thing may be that he closes the racket face inwards on the 2HBH in order to produce some topspin, otherwise the shot would be unreliable. This makes for a quick baseliner! This makes some kinda sense considering his 2HBH looks like continential push with forearm/shoulders through (aka Sampras forehand), rather than a regular 2hBH with extreme grip, topspin and body rotation.

Just my theory, but as I’ve tried to copy his 2HBH the above grip seems to produce the closest result.

Regards,
Sam
