Stefanos Tsitsipas, a prominent figure in men’s tennis, shares his positive outlook on the future of the one-handed backhand. Despite a perceived decline in its prevalence, Tsitsipas remains steadfast in his belief that the single-handed backhand will continue to produce champions in the sport.
“I think it’s just a phase. I remain pretty optimistic on the future of the single-handed backhand and I’m pretty sure we’re going to see a lot of more champions in the future with that backhand. I, for sure, don’t think it’s gone,” Tsitsipas stated confidently.
Tsitsipas’ perspective challenges the notion that the one-handed backhand is becoming obsolete in modern tennis. With his own proficiency in executing this stroke, Tsitsipas embodies the potential and versatility of the single-handed backhand, offering a compelling argument for its enduring relevance.
