Big Stan's backhand is one of the most beautiful things in sport. The fact he can go cross court or down the line with almost total disguise is incredible.
just a little practice..

Wawrinka is so underrated, a lot of people outside of tennis don't even know who he is but he's a real quality player, one of the best of the decade.
For me, he is overrated. I know, that he won 3 GS's, but overall he started playing quality tennis at the age of 28, since the end of 2013 till the half of 2017. He was ranked in top 10 5x, Murray 9x, Djokovic 12x, Roger 17x, Nadal 15x, Tsonga 6x, Berdych 7x. I don't think Stan is much better than Tsonga or Berdych, but for sure much worse than the Big 3 plus Andy.
Agreed he’s very underrated.
@@TheDymeR he beat prime Djokovic in final Australia open and final Roland Garros, how many player that can beat prime Djokovic in 2 consecutive years in a row? I don't think he's overrated but highly inconsistent. When he's on fire nothing can stop him.
@@felixyatin8086 When Kyrgios is on, is also very dangerous and beat Djokovic 2 times out of 2 matches.
@@TheDymeR did he beat prime Djokovic in 2 Gran slams final in a row?
Stan's backhand is one of the most beautiful things in tennis.
Sachin - I feel like the do different things. Fed has nuance and artistry while Stan can punch through a wall. Both amazing. But I’d prob take Stan’s. Interestingly I think Henin is a combination of both which is why hers was so highly rated.
So true!!!!!
@@Ineddiblehulk Fed's is actually extremely fast when he rips through it. He can get up to around 100 mph. I've yet to see a speed reading of Stan that exceeds that mark (though I wouldn't be surprised if there is one).
Agreed
by far
Notice how some of his best shots are against the likes of Nadal, Federer and Djokovic? Best players bring the best out of Stanimal.
kwl189, He’s a big match player
because against them he must play that kind of shots, if he want to win points ;)
Stan the man 💪
Stan's win against Djokovic in the French Open final was possibly the best match I've ever seen. Nadal would have had his hands full with Stan that day.
John Dunlap agreed. He was a monster that day. In all reality he should have won in straight sets. He lost the first set on a few loose shots here and there.
The best single handed backhand groundstroke there is. Can hit winners and angles from anywhere, from any height, with immense power and control. 👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Steve Michael i think gasquet got a better one
Augustin Abraham, Nah m8. Stan is the backhand GOAT
Jimnosnow 4 stan have a powerful one, but gasquet have a backhand for which he can produce more topsin and pace with incredible angles. Only problem is he needs less than half a second more for that stroke
You will so hate me for this, but according to stats, Thiem's the best. Stan attacks a bit more often with the bh than Thiem, but Thiem's attack-winner-percentage is a bit higher and his bh is also significantly faster than Stan's (in all categories, his average bh speed and his average bh winner speed and his fastest bh (which happens to be the record with 104 mph, followed by Nadal and Gasquet with both 103 mph)
@@juliannaser4017 interesting stuff. I have not looked into the stats to that degree but they always throw up interesting tidbits. I think the winner to error ratio will be better for Thiem because he is not as aggressive as Stan. Also Stan has gone off the rails in last couple of years since his injuries so has lost a lot of matches. The stats no doubt include the recent years in decline. Thiem on the other hand has been on the rise last couple of years and is in his prime right now. Worth bearing in mind, it is not all about power either. Stan’s backhand is so good because of the angles and power combination. Also the control and depth and ability to change direction. I know if I could have any one players single hander, it would be Stan the man!
STAN the MAN!
Nerves of steel .. especially in Finals! Joy to watch!
he's called "the man of big matches"
He's got cold nerves.
Wawrinka can exchange in diagonal with Rafa's forehand and even win the rally.. Overall his must be the most unreal backhand in history. Powerful, accurate, versatile and solid. Amazing.
Hasn't really worked out for him vs Rafa in reality tho, has it? But I agree his backhand is amazing.
@@grimsonNope and that makes me like him even more, altogether with his winning record against Djokovic.
@@dachampions 6-20 is winning?
@@lukeinvictus69 Djokovic was at his peak on Clay at this time and he could have troubled even the greatest Nadal on Clay just look even if Nadal wasn't at his prime he was still on Clay there beaten by Wavrinka in the 1/4. He won 3-1 in final against Djoko and would have won 95-100% of Nadal in RG finals... he had the best back hand ever in history at this time we aren't talking consistency here but a precise moment where he was just the greatest ever.
@@grimsonDjokovic was at his peak on Clay at this time and he also bested him at his peak in the AO, he could have troubled even the greatest Nadal on Clay just look even if Nadal wasn't at his prime he was still on Clay there beaten by Wavrinka in the 1/4. He won 3-1 in final against 95-98% of Nadal in RG finals he would have won... Then it's just details he had the best back hand ever in history at this time we aren't talking consistency here but a precise moment where he was just the greatest in history with his backhand Nadal prime at RG could be considered a decade before it was an other style of tennis that would be crushed ten years of evolution. It did work against Nadal during this period of 3 years sir.
Stan is my favorite player
It's THE shot that brings a smile to every tennis fan's face
Best backhand in tennis history (IMO).
I agree
Federer has the best backhand...
Look up Lendl's backhand
Gasquet
@@Born2Punch hahaa you only watch highlights of Fedex I guess
Imagine Del Po' s Monster Forehand and Stan the Man' s Monster Backhand together in one guy.
Wawrinka’s backhand is the most beautiful and brutal thing that i have ever seen in tennis !!’
Stan Warinka has the most lethal and exquisite backhand.
Un stoppable when he is in good mood. My favorite tennis player.
These backhands are lethal for 3 reasons:
The angle
The power
Ball goes on to or right next to the line
The footwork, the preparation, the backhand goodness, the motion, the gesture, the finish, the touch: so good to watch
The fact my tennis coach uses him as an example is a great example of your statement. It's simple yet elegant
Wawrinka definitely has the best one hander in the game. Not only are these shots amazing but it's against mostly the big 3 lol. Just shows you this guy is no joke.
He has a terrible record against those guys. His backhand is definitely amazing tho.

Nothing can elude Wawrinka to make a perfect backhand.It's STAN THE MAN.
You could post the same video without Stan Wawrinka in the title
Nice. Agree.
It’s the perfect backhand. The short angels cross court, the power he gets, the way he can decide to pull the trigger down the line whenever he wants. One of the most dangerous/beautiful shots in tennis
The man known for his ridiculously paced and angled backhands and dominant shots..a humble human being..wishing you a very happy b'day.
-Fan
Actually the video contains some of his rare shots..
Best backhand everrrrr
Joe Bhoyroo right on 💪
The single handed backhand of Wawrinka. The double handed backhand of Djokovic. The forehand of Federer. The overhead and serve of Sampras. The volley of Federer. The movement of Djokovic. The endurance of Nadal.
That might be me
Nope, perhaps Alcaraz has listened your request😅
Del potro's forehand
I can watch his backhands all day long) insane angles and immense power. The best one in the tour!
Stan Wawrinka and Denis Shapovalov are my favorite backhands to watch. Bar none. If you didn't watch them swing, you'd swear it was a forehand coming across the net. They can deliver crippling power at absurd angles off both wings and that's something that very few players can do. It's breathtaking to watch.
Shapo’s backhand is very pretty, but on average he generates a lot less pace and depth than his own forehand. He only occasionally finds the time to rip a huge one. Wawrinka’s average backhand genuinely has forehand levels of pace and depth.
My sentiments exactly.
By far the most entertaining player I’ve seen. He should be incredibly proud of his career
This video is not complete without the out-of-the-net backhand against Nole in the 2015 RG final
No Grand Slams shots in here... It's an ATP video. ;)
@@PapaDudeness lmao true
6onza Read my mind, this video isnt worthy for not having such a precise shot
Agreed..
Happy birthday, Stan🎉🎂🎉
I'm always with you‼️😆
I love Stan, He is pure class, and a gentleman.
So satisfying to watch
You have to love Stan's backhand. It's simply beautiful.
Stan's backhand and González' forehand.
One of the best tennis players ever.magic backhand and incredibile peak performances
So talented! Absolutely my favourite stably over the years
Woah that backhand has power, and consitansy
Just imagine how solid your shoulder has to be for that !
This is so glorious.
The angle at 1:24 is just... Beautiful
Well his forehand is as lethal as his backhand !
You forgot one of his most powerful backhands.... I remember against Nadal in Rome
Stan deserves more grand slam wins
Greatest single handed BH ever. Because of that surprise element, I love powerful single handers better than double handers
With single hand you get more reach.
With two hand you limit your self.
Prime Wawrinka backhand 🐐
Nothing compares
Really, his is the best backhand in ATP today.
As much as I love Thiem's bh now, prime Wawrinka BH was godly.
Just wonderful!
You have to love his backhand
Work of art
I love you Stan !!
Best backhand in tennis history.
Stan the Man 💪
There are many views in tennis that are debatable ( who is the best ever, best to watch, best serve etc etc ). One thing that is not debatable is who has the best one handed Backhand ever. Stan has so far put that argument to rest. Dead and buried so far under it's oozing shale oil! I wish him back. Really miss his ability to create fear and doubt in Novak and Rafa.
love when people claim absolutes when the stats say otherwise. aesthetically and subjectively, no doubt one of the best. trying to claim inarguable best when there are higher speeds and winner percentages from others is just plain bias. cheers though~
Stanimal gave me motivation to learn onehanded backhand. Now I play backhand slide only.
Geez that's awesome
Stan The Man, uno de mis ídolos en el tenis y el jugador que me inspira a hacer revés a una mano...sin duda dentro los 5 mejores de Backhand a una mano de la historia.
3:32 WOW
admiration and appreciation,that's only thing I can do
there is so much power and consistency, just woah.
Never really noticed how good his backhand was. Holy crap. That spin he puts on it. How he can disguise it too.
Stan's backhand is so awesome :)
this and delpo forehand are my favorite shots!!
Best backhand in the world
I love this guy
The best backhand in the tour 😮❤
The most interesting player in the tour in my opinion
The best one handed backhand vs the best two handed backhand!
For the two hander of Marin Cilic is impressive.
Prime Wawrinka’s backhand winners are a thing of beauty, if not humanly possible the best there will ever be?
Maybe the best one handed backand ever
pbonacina69 you’re completely right there no one hits more backhand winners in a all match than Stand
not maybe...its totally for sure
Magic back hand
If Stan was consintent during all of his career instead of just the big 3 we would be talking about the big 4 ( Federer , Nadal , Djokovic and Wawrinka ) .... For me Stan is the second most talented tennis player that i ever watched only behind Federer
Underrated tennis player
The best backhand in tennis history, simply amazing, he has two forehands in his raquet
Maguslloret Munoz you’re right on 👍
The shot at 3:32 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen
This guy is talented!
stan the man
Hands down best backhand
If Federer had Wawrinka backhand...
Tao Paille-Paille 2017 fed
Federer's backhand was always great, and in some cases better than Wawrinka (like slices, drop shots, change of directions).
The problem is his mentality/confidence.
Federer's backhand is better than Wawrinka's what are you talking about ?? He has the more variety and has been way more consistent with it in his career .
@@anisbougrab4725 ¿Variety? I've never seen Wawrinka take the ball early all the time like Federer does, or hit slices like Federer does, or drop shots, or half-volleys, or volleys.
Also, tactically Federer is better.
The only things Wawrinka's backhand is better, are raw power and consistency (due to his technique).
I think Federer's backhand is actually bad. If Federer had Wawrinka's backhand he would be simply unstoppable.
Beauty and the beast
Wawrinka, as well as Thiem, have amazingly fast racket-head speed, which make them so different and exciting
Stanimal, I miss you so much! :'(
Only thing about Stan is his consistency in his level of play. He should have won a lot more slams. As for his backhand, unmatched in power and precision
Damm, im gonna really miss seeing this 1HBH on the tour!
Stan The Man :-)
stan's backhand is thing of beauty and only a wimbledon title away from completing the grand slam.
"BOOMSHKI" - Robbie Koenig.
Hands down, the best single-handed backhand of all time.
When he pulls the trigger on that down the line backhand the opponent is in trouble. Hardly anyone can hit it with such power and angle and that too in pressure points like stan.
Its too easy man!😂
His range of shots using the backhand is effortless. Stanislas🔥
The SPECIALIST!!👌👌👌
How much I'd give to see him back in shape... I was supportive back then, bloody knee operation...
It's too bad they can't show clips from his French and U.S. Open final wins against Djokovic. Those are, to me, when he completely went into god mode and was crushing every backhand fed to him.
Why can’t they show
@@mikal0457 grand slams aren’t part of the ATP tour, so this channel doesn’t have the rights to those videos
His best backhands are when he's in his pyjamas
This guys had 3 gran slams under the big 4 reign
Best backhand of all time
Gustavo Kuerten I guess
Favorite one handed backhand are Wawrinka, Federer, Thiem, Haas, Dimitrov, Gasquet to name a few..
When i was young , there was a man who had 4 buffaloes and used to supply milk. He had a son, big and strong brute; Wawrinka looks like that son
The first time I watched Stan was actually all the way back in 2010 when I bought tickets to the Aussie Open in Melbourne and he obliterated Andy Roddick with that backhand
He’s won 3 Grand Slams, yet I never felt he got much love.
One handed backhand looks so much better than two handed
Stan does it the best
