David Nalbandian - Backhand

[wxsty]

He destroyed nadal using his backhands in 2007.

[TheNerdStory]

His backhand is so good, that it is better than a lefties forehand.

[extradutyfelt1]

@queenofcourt I suppose it must be hard to resist, the best beef in the world:) still a super talented player neverthless..

[bjarktron]

Yeah he hasn't looked very fit this year but hope he does well nonetheless. About the sweating like a pig, he has always sweat like this. :p

[Sen1Sky]

I think he may have the greatest backhand ever O_O

[SkeksisBestSongEver]

Right up there with Ronaldinho and Mike Tyson in showing potential of being the best ever at what they are doing but can´t keep it up for long enough.

[bjarktron]

Great swing, but would love to see his footing as well

[FMSV1P3R]

NALBANDIAN! MY FAVORITE PLAYER!

[ghostcm8]

best double back hand....

[Musik4Eva22]

tremendo revés a dos manos, le trato de pegar con fuerza y no me sale ni a 1/4 de la potencia del Nalbandián, jajaja, que dificil q es jugar bien al tenis.-

[danilotactac]

Qué grande Nalbandián, saludos de Chile.

[manueltllz]

Best backhand ever!!!

[TheIrofist]

what grip does he use??

[borisncfc100]

Agreed fat Dave's backhand is as good as a two hander as there has ever been.

[ulizinho]

que acontecio con este gran jugador?

[77777fox77777]

el mejor reves en la historia de la humanidad

[vicentecasanova]

alguien que me pueda dar consejos para golpear el backhand como el????

[luirot9]

@vicentecasanova

Desafortunadamente eso solo se debe a su habilidad y talento. Me imagino que con muchisima disciplina y haber estudiado y practicado el tenis desde muy temprana edad puede acercar a uno a llegar a este nivel.

[ulizinho]

Treinar y treinar !

Lernen, lernen, lernen POPERNEN !

[nico89SFX]

lo mismo se debe preguntar alguien como roddick por ejemplo.. así que no te avergüences si no te sale como a nalbandian..

[tenisforever10]

i just hope he has a great come back, i mean, he is one of the best, and if he puts effort into it he will soon be a top ten player once again

[FinalFan0]

I wish he could come back but I think it's too late. His prime years are gone, and he was 1 of the couple players who could smash Federer at his best.

[tinche01]

estos petes de los estadounidenses son unos giles, se creen grosos en el tenis y ninguno de los millones de jugadores q tiene ganan un puto torneo jaja

[PestoSpeciale]

Todo bien, pero tampoco seas caprichoso: Roddick tiene mas titulos que Nalbandian, Del Porto y Gonzalez juntos...

[nico89SFX]

Será culpa de, no se.. Se me ocurren algunos.. Connors? McEnroe? Agassi? Courier? Un tal Sampras? Andy Roddick? Los hermanos Bryan? Navratilova? Las Williams? Ninguno ganó ni gana un torneo igual.. no?

[Ashot007fromARMENIA]

Nalbandian is in top form the best. Also one of the best personalitys.

[argentinatenis2]

genial revés del Rey David!

[CabezaDeRes]

Gordo, panzón, barriga de sapo, panza de rata preñada,,, ¿cuándo regresas a las canchas?

[alauer2008]

What makes this backhand so good is the fact that he drops his wrists and then snaps them through the ball but still driving the racquet forward. It takes a great talent for timing to do this well.

[tennislovr96]

I LOVE U DAVID!

[mroshanali]

David Nalbandian has a powerful backhand.

[ductrung3993]

Can you do another one with a different view so that we could see his foot work? Thanks!

[Leziii]

i'd still choose gasquet's backhand, it just looks so good

[MatteHbk87]

Nalbandian has the greatest two handed back hand in the world

[msalami1]

Arf... Agassi don't play anymore :'(

[mechkapechka]

@MatteHbk87 After Davydenko ? :D

[stefanfirst]

Now I have problems with my backhand and I'm working hard on it :(

[TorgeistLLN]

In terms of style and straight up technique Nalbandian and Safin's backhands are the best in the two handed category, you can add Murray to it. Nadal's has improved massively in the last 12 months.

[Iwiehavo]

I think that is true but I also believe people are underestimating Nikolay Davydenko's backhand...he was owning Federer at the '07 French open with it.

[daraemkar]

Davydenko's ability to take the ball on the rise is incredible but I just don't see the power that the other players have.

[stufan1]

nalbandian's backhand is good, but agassi's backhand to me is more preferable.

[redmongoose208]

CSIracing, on his right hand Nalbandian uses a continental while with his left he uses a western forehand grip.

[CSIracing]

anyone knows the grips he is using for both hands?

[dima1994]

I love his tennis.

[humonero]

In this moment Nalbandian is the best player of the world.

[nytex]

Safin has a better backhand, although Nalbandian is still amazing.

[dzmephisto]

Safin and Nalbandian are DEFINITELY two of the best backhands in the game~

[mytennis4you]

I really like his follow-through. His left arm is dead straight. You won't find a player who is better in that department.

[ciarrai3]

I taught Nalbandian everything he knows about the backhand.

[davoho]

you must me andre agassi cunt.

[sagrocket]

the onli player wo can beat nadal on clay due to this beauty

[edmondsm82]

What could be the basis for this statement? LOL. I am the biggest Nalbandian fan you will ever find, but I know that Nadal would own David on clay.

[MintyFrsh]

best TWO-HANDED BACKHAND

[Kishnabe]

If david is this good, why can't he get a major.

[CuprousChloride]

He's amazing, no doubt, but tennis is a lot more than having picture-perfect strokes (like nalbandian)... He has to contend with some of the greatest players of all time.

[Zarlanga]

he won federer, nadal, djokovic, and got to a wimbledon final, and to semis in rolanga

[bigboy543andkell]

he went to the semis at least of all four grand slams which means he is versatile and has talent, but he doesn't give his best which is why he hasn't won a slam. If he did then he would have already won 5 slams probably and be up there with nadal and federer

[mysteriekiller]

And if he would have more dedication. He also has to work on his fitness a lot. I mean, he is just not putting enough effort in it to compete with the top consistently. Nalbandian is such a wasted talent.

[pararesis]

you have to be pretty dedicated to be a top 15 ranked player. hes ranked 14 currently. maybe he has a few things to change, but at his level of play its hard to get a lot better because the guys are just so good.

[tinche01]

that's true, here in argentina all the sport journalists talk about that, but he is training to be in form for came back to the atp tour, in december he will play a mini tournament in argentina with safin, gonzalez and more good tennis players :D

[yakoo7]

Miren a este hijo de puta, como dinamicamente deja caer la cabeza de la raqueta antes del golpe... MAESTRO!!!!!!!! eso neutraliza cualquier tipo de spin o slice que le venga.. maestro del control con potencia suficiente para hacer correr a quien sea!!! EL MEJOR BACK HAND DE DOS MANOS DEL CIRCUITO... SIN DUDA!!!

[c0ztanza]

amazing

[polipoli7]

his backhand is the best

[oneguy23]

just went to a tennis camp with division 1 players and i swear there was this player who could crush his backhand. I think he might have the strongest backhand ever.

[GyariSan]

There's actually no comparison between Nalbandian and Agassi when it comes to the backhand. The answer is simple, Nalbandian's is much better IN TERMS OF TECHNIQUE, even considering the fact that Agassi have one of the best in the game. Note that the spectacular aspect of Agassi's game was based on his super timing, but not technique. Nalbandian's backhand can handle all sorts of shots, and that includes neutralizing top spins way above his shoulders.

[mblaco]

now thats a backhand!

[xXxFatalClawxXx]

Davids backhand is SICK!!

[Monsterenergy791]

His backhand is the best looking in the game, one of the best shots in tennis, he's got potential in my opinion.

[n2329450]

Federers backhand actually lost him the epic final at wimbledon on sunday. Of course he can hit winners with it, wouldnt be 12 slam winner if he couldnt....nevetheless it wasnt good enough..and i so wanted him to win!

[lecter255]

Fed's bh did not cost him the wimby final. if he had a 2hbh he get less reach, can't come to the net as well, can't recover as well for the next shot, etc. it's the fact that he couldn't take advantage of the 12 break chances he had in the 1st set that cost him. people berate his 1hbh with a sense of illusion that if he had a 2hbh, it will be a combo of all that's good with 1hbh and 2hbh, but not realizing having a 2hbh will introduce 2hbh weakneses as well.

[n2329450]

I never said that he needed to change to a 2hbh, just increase the reliability of his 1hbh! I was agreeing with bernhardlanger below that federers backhand is weak at times, shown last sunday. Watch the game and you will see how Nadal exploits this all way through the match

[ihateuutube]

rafa should've ended it in 3. lucky for fed to take it to 5.

[migwel987]

never count federer out

[turdferguson2]

i'm still kind of in shock over his loss. roger's ego is getting in the way of his playing against rafa. he doesn't run around his backhand as much, he tries to go backhand to forehand with Nadal in rallies....he lets Nadal serve to his BH ever. single. time. on the ad side. nadal's speed obviously could make anybody nervous and I think that's what's happening with Federer. Come on Roger....let's get it together.

[n2329450]

Exactly right. You should be an ATP analyst! Lol

[turdferguson2]

haha...i dunno about that, but thanks. i'm just pointing out the fairly obvious, really

[freshstew45]

beautiful

[ajkim90]

safin isnt crap he just doesnt give a shit. if he cared he would still be top 10 easily

[seanpenfold5]

safin best backhand ever, when he wasnt crap, lol

[durich1000]

Best two handed-backhand in the world! perfect from head to feet, his head and eyes on ball like Federer, his shoulders transfer, look at his hip how he uses it as he hits the ball. His leading arm is the left one, as it should be, not like many pro that use the right too much. Finally he hits it up front, with both hands away from the body... What else can we ask? Beautiful to see !

[RoseEdw]

yes he has the best 2HB nowadays but is not the best of all time connors agassi kafelnikov djokovic safin 2HB are pretty amazing too

[hajime2k]

Add Rios into the mix. All the others you mentioned and Nalbandian I agree 100%.

[reefric]

I think agassi would be on the same level as david, as far as more recent times are concerned..

[mahroflcoptergo3ssoi]

well nalbandians got the best 2h, but gasquets got the best 1h, between the two i cant tell who is better

[reefric]

federer has the best one hander..

[Sh3vCh3nk0]

gasquet has better one handed backhand, actually the worst shot of federer is his backhand

[reefric]

Is that so? can gasquet flick it cross court like roger with his wrist? can he slice like roger?,roger can hit winners on his backhand just as much as richard can! you obviously don´t see things with a clinical eye! roger´s backhand is sensational..

[bernhardlanger]

what are you talking about?? feds backhand is a liability most of the times. of course he can hit winners, but it's often very shaky and breaks under pressure, especially on clay. his worst shot by far.

[reefric]

you´re comparing it to his forehand I think, but that doesn´t mean his backhand isn´t great, because I have seen him killing it with his backhand many times..as far as him playing under pressure on clay,i.e,you must mean playing rafa..I can´t really say,all I know is roger has all the shots in the book..

[bogdan55]

the best,by far.accurate as hell,and the angles he gets in,absolutely sick!

[mahroflcoptergo3ssoi]

best backhand 4 sure

[stevehwan]

djokovic has a better backhand

[ikky85]

no way

[turdferguson2]

nalbandian, agassi, and safin: these are guys you should copy if you want a good 2H BH.

[theoquach]

Nalbandian has the best backhand in the game

[zivotinjke]

this guy is UNBELIEVABLE, but Novak is my favorite

[Proxasma]

Best backhand in the world.

[gogogoup]

agreed

[gogogoup]

agreed

[backhand88]

hell yeah

[cristianmassagana]

agreed

[typicay]

yes double-handed backhand

[sweden92]

His backhand looks like Safins. Or the other way. But the teqnuice is the same. But Safins is more powerfull. But Nalbandian can get better angels.

[Bu3uPb]

The best two-handed backhand is Safin's backhand! The best tennis player in potential! Last guy, who defeated Federer on Grand Slam (not RG)

[zeleboy]

the history books have been rewritten by djokovic.

[cyb0027]

haha yeah

[roartt]

best current two handed backhand. Love the bent/straight arm configuration he plays it with..

[paulogomescoelho]

Best double backhand there's on the tour nowadays.

[trevorwinton]

one of the best, not the best.

[michaelhung6]

best backhand ever

[wildboyz322]

love his two handed backhand

thanks for the upload

[yepenga92]

one of the best backhands on the tour
