I wonder if she could hit with more direction and pace if she extended through the ball more on her follow-through instead of curling around earlier...
-
huge swing, beautifull..

I would suggest this backhand is technically average
-
perfect contact point, some people think that you shouldnt use your wrist while hitting backhand. They say it is very difficult. What do you guys think?
-
HOT. and she's great in playing tennis, too.
-
Wow, what Ana really does well is the turning of her hip on her rear leg to get her full body into the shot. It's not just about the shoulders for her. Very cool.

@Tony07UK Also, a good follow-through will increase the likelihood of the racquet head actually accelerating through the contact point.
-
@Tony07UK I believe they call that follow-through the 'windshield wiper' nowadays... it yields greater topspin compared to back in the day
-
Gorgeous face and legs of steel. Instant cum material.
-
What is outstanding about this series of strokes is her preparation, which is more or less identical every time. I agree her follow through is not the strength here, but that preparation is as good as you can get without over preparing like the power players Williams and Clijsters do.

She's too good-looking for the viewer to observe the technique instead of her grace ;D (at least for me)

i wouldnt mind watching her play with herself in slow mo
does she put the balls in her pocket or
Hi Will I have a question. Why doesn't she extend her off arm on the backhand slice? Is there any reason for that? Thanks in advance.

Don't think there's a particular reason for it -- just stylistic. Extending it back as you described makes it easier to keep your shoulders from opening up too much. However, if you're able to pull this off like Ana w/out a straight arm you should be ok.
