  • looks like hes using a top spin grip with a windshield wiper forehand. am i right?

  • Yes he does on many forehands. Grips by themselves don't create topspin. What they do is affect how you swing at the tennis ball -- extreme grips generally result in a more vertical swing plane and more "brush" against the back of the ball. That's why extreme grips are said to produce more topspin than conservative grips.

    Aside -- lets not get personal folks. Keep the discussion mature.

  • It appears his forehand is between semi-western and western, but definitely closer to semi-western.

  • Not bad

  • Novak has good leg movements

  • @washy91 it seems to differ, apparently he's been seen using western and semi-western clearly, I think it's semi-western, his grip size could be a little smaller making it appear western, possibly, but just my opinion

  • does anybody knows what grip novak uses in his forehand??? 

  • novak djokovic uses extreme semi-western at the 4th bevel but near the fifth which is western

  • @eddiek2206 he' using extreme semi-western not western look at his finger and the bevel and he turns his wrist after a forehand

  • his slow motion swing is faster than my normal swing :)

  • Hey Will, what I have been having trouble with is Forehands that I have to hit that are in 3/4 across the service line to the singles line. Because I have typically used an open stance and hit a WW forehand. But what I noticed Novak doing is using a topspin forehand when he is in the open stance, is this what I should do, or is it okay to use a WW forehand in the open stance?
