@Miloje1000 actually bro, one handed is more acurate and powrful, proven in tests.
the forehand is a much more open shot than a backhand which comes cross the body unlike the forehand. Two handed is less flexibility for a forehand and weak!
one handed forehands like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are gods and can kick santoro's ass. watch Roger Federer God mode on!
thats real forehands :P
and by the way he's versing Santoro and whips his ass!
@BfmvMetalDemon why don't you try? stop criticizing people, especially someone as talented and skilled as santoro. you'll never even be as good as him so show some respect.
Don't ever say something like that!Because it isn't matter is shot two or one handed ! and also don't criticize someone who is much better then you. And if you can't play two handed forehand it doesn't mean thet it is weak or stupid i can tell you that two h. f. can be much stronger and accurate than one handed! player just have to play naturaly!
Ok you are right one handed is more powerful when it is natural
I train tennis and i played it whole summer with one hand. forehand BUT i never had strong shots.Now when i try to crush the ball harder i have to use two handed because i hasn't got enought strenght in my hand.so i hit the ball with 2 hands and i fell that i am more strong and precision.
the story is Probably same with two handed players-they hit 2 hand. f. because they hasn't got enought power to hit it 1 handed
Just this : try to imagine fab. san or marion bertoli hitting one handed f. it would be such a parody of tennis player - because their hands are weak and the have more power when they hit with two hands i wanted to say that in 2 last comments :D , trust me, i felt something like that with my hand
he isnt a typical 2 handed forehand player cos he often switches the leading hands on the racket. so he is playing much often a left one handed backhand slice with the left hand on the top of the grip and then a right handed 2handed backhand. see him playing a real 2 handed right handed forehand (cos he is right handed) is pretty rare. so his style is confusing ...
I was once practice hitting with some other coach who trains under my coach. Doing backhand cross the whole time and suddenly he does a double handed one.. completely threw my rithm off and i misread the bounce. was good fun though.
Haha I do what your coach does from time to time to throw people off. Especially when I am not feeling confident with my forehand. What's weird is I am right handed but actually can hit a left handed back hand. Meanwhile I can't hit a 2 handed backhand on my right to save my life. Go figure.
i got a friend in thailand and her play two hand too and his father was a good pro. one day i ask his father why your son plays with two handed forehand and he said my son is to weak to play a forehand. soo you know very few people who had this plomblem. so you pitty him instead of critizing. cuz those people have problem to came this far and they would be very talet and is amazing to see that fabrice can came this far
One thing I really don't get: Why does a modern tennis pro play a two handed forehand? He himself even realizes that it's horribly weak. When he runs around balls, he does it so that he can hit his backhand. Yes, his backhand is both statistically and actually better than his forehand. Ridiculous. Santoro would be able to do so much more with a one handed forehand.
I was reading an interview of his, and it stated the reason he uses a two-handed forehand is that when he began playing tennis at a young age, the racket was too heavy for him to play a one-handed forehand game, and he just got used to playing like that for his whole life.
i play 2 handed forehand but my coach keeps making me switch the one handed...its really annoying cus i dont have problem with hitting with 2 hands. :(
weird to see a two handed forehand...i mean very weird!!santoros style is very unique...he plays with alot of back spins, topspins, slice's drop shot's and lot of more effects...
The most unusual pro forehand I have ever seen. Grip is very strange, reverse to what you would expect. I asume he is right handed yet his right hand is at end of racket and his left hand is at base providing a pulling action, sort of like a singlehanded lefty backhand.

still - he IS the magician
