Dinara Safina - Forehand - ProStrokes 2.0 Slow-Motion

[SaloY2J]

her technique is the reason why she's going downhill, she's too defensive going to the back and not forward, bad balance and also a very weak wrist, which can be seen easily, for a shot with too much topspin like nadal's, her forehand is really useless, the main reason could be the grip and her balance

bit of a jab step there at the end...not bad but Serena is gonna make Safina Stroganoff down unda

[MR5M]

this forehand was out of the center...but she can improve it!!...

[awesomeLEE4]

i really dont like her forehand....

she takes a huge back swing... she should really shorten it up

[hajime2k]

I love Dinara, but yeah her forehand is quite complicated. She really has to set up early and take the ball up high. Low balls give her problems and her forehand breaks down more often than her backhand.

ill teach her how to use a forehand :)

[wozniacki15]

it works for her, but yeah your right she needs to make it more compact.

[tommyenglish1]

yeah, it sucks. its not gonna get you 23 grand slam semi's in a row, thats for sure

@awesomeLEE4 It used to be shorter a couple of years ago but then she put too much top spin on it due to the western grip. The longer stroke allows her to hit it flatter.
