Nadal's blistering backhand vs. Novak Djokovic, Montreal Masters 2007.mp4

[mavsfan1000]

This is the shot Nadal needs to work on right now. He used to have it.

@mavsfan1000 he pulled the trigger on a few at wimby, but I think he missed almost as many as he hit for winners. Indeed, needed those few extra, and at the big moments too.

People don't realize that his backhand is actually a two-handed forehand because he's a natural righty.

[FU0C0]

@hattrickster33 But then isn't the definition of a "backhand" is hitting on the side which you don't hold your racket on? He holds his racket in his left hand so, hitting on his right, it would be a backhand?

[hattrickster33]

@FU0C0 I know it IS a backhand but its comparable to a righty hitting on his right side with two hands for his FOREHAND.

[ghlover2001]

@hattrickster33 comparable yes, but it isn't a forehand...it's a backhand. who cares that his naturally dominant hand is his right. he play's left-handed, therefore that is a backhand. which btw, is more powerful than his forehand. idk why he doesn't use it more consistently instead of running around to hit the forehand. when he unleashes, it's monstrous and almost impossible to return. the pace he gets with just a casual flick of his wrist...unreal.
