  • Nalbandian sure doesn't do well often against players with the intensity, athleticism, and determination to track down every ball, and willingness to keep playing. Sure he likes long rallies, but it doesn't really favor him when the opponent doesn't give up.

  • thenoblequran (Ctrl+Enter)

  • Nalbandian's backhand + Moya's forehand = God

  • phenonenal

  • its a shame he decided to retire i have some recorded matches of him ill upload parts of them check out my channel in the next few days if you are interested

  • 2:57, he is killing mosquitos

  • I've always wondered: why is it that no player has tried to learn playing 2 forehands? Of course on the return and volleys, stick to one dominant hand, but what about the groundstrokes? Is it disadvantageous to do so? Why or Why not? Please Reply.

  • ive wondered the same thing, i guess its just easier to develop a two or one handed backhand as opposed to training your off hand to hit the stroke properly? Theres this kid who is like 3rd in the nation, uses 2 double handed backhands, his name is Johnny Wang

  • also i suppose the logic behind it is: why coordinate two hands when you can coordinate one and accompany it with the other for stability?

  • I've wondered the same. There are a very few number of players who actually started out playing too forehands. Those ambidextrous players actually manage to learn to serve (properly, I might add) using both hands as well. Not only that, but just from looking, you can't tell which serve he/she prefers. It's pretty amazing. But there has to be a downside if you take this to the pros. Otherwise, many more would've started doing this.

  • @JL6293 That's an interesting question. It seems to me like switching hands entirely is more difficult than adding or removing a hand. The fact that you have 'two forehands" doesn't really make up for the extra second you have to take to put the racket in your other hand.

  • @HBNplague

    Maybe it's too difficult to learn. I know a 6.0 player from a T.V. commercial who plays two forehands. I don't quite remember his name, however, the clip showed him very aptly handling both forehands in the middle of a match using an almost court level perspective. Was pretty interesting to watch.

  • @JL6293

    That would require too much fine touch from the nervous system I guess. However snooker players like Ronny O Sullivan play with 2 hands as well

  • @JL6293 well i think the basic problem you would find is that you should change you racket from one hand to another every time the ball comes to your right or left.

  • @JL6293 if its advantageous then everyone will be doing that...

  • @visitnajr

    Well, it depends. Sometimes, conventions can be preferred simply because we "know" they work. Radical new ideas never take form until a pro proves it's successful. Moya, for example, was pretty much the first pro to use Babolat to success, and today, it's become a groundstroke/grinder's weapon of choice. The two handed backhand is generaly agreed to be better than the one handed backhand, but two-handed backhands, when they just took the scene, were ridiculous to the public.

  • @JL6293 ya but their idea was good. urs is not...

  • moya is lefty but play righty, that makes him almost invincible- just like Nadal, play lefty but actually he is righthanded

  • Invicible? Lol. All it means that their backhand has more power if they are a two-hander. Moya, unlike Nadal, was able to transition the switch a lot better because obviously right handed players are the majority and not to mention, left handed people are ambidextrous a lot of time. Nadal on the other hand, had problems switching because he was originally righty, and we all know the difficulty using our left hand, which is why he had problems with his serve unlike Moya.

  • Moya might have just been taught serve and forehand mechanics in a better more structured way with helped develop strong fundamentals. And maybe Nadal wasn't.

  • @THES0L0IST not anymore check out nadals serve in us open 2010 only got broken once or so the entire slam

  • @Tommie22x

    He got broken at least three times in the final, I think once against Youzhny, once against Verdasco.

    But you are right, his serve has improved.

  • whaaattt????

  • These two both have beautiful techniques

  • moyas backhand is an apology to be honest!

  • nipal - you realise that moya has won a GS and has been number 1 b4. think before you type

  • Que buen revés cortado el de Carlos.Le sirve para salvarse de los ángulos que abre David con su revés a 2 manos(como maneja su mano izquierda para conseguir ángulos tan cortos que sacan de la pista al rival).Así con el cortado Carlos tiene tiempo de volver a la pista

  • when nalbandian looses to this kind of players is when he shows us he is never gonna be number 1 or 2 of the world

  • moya is not any player, he´s one of the best veteran player´s on tour..he´s capable of pulling upset´s!

  • SOME-1 UPLOAD HENMAN VS CHELA PLZ
