Copy This From Stefanos Tsitsipas (One Handed Backhand Tennis Technique)
1. Have your back elbow and hand level to each other to “reflect the crowd”
2. Drop and close the face to allow you to swing up with confidence from topspin

Ñp😢
Your instruction is spot on for aspiring players who want to get to the next level. You communicate better than most teaching pros. It’s almost like you were once a 3.5 (just like millions of us hackers) , but decided you wanted to get to 4.5. You were once in our shoes! The emphasis on key points is what separates you from the thousands of really excellent pros out there.
Nice. Great communication skills
Wow thank you so much!
Your passion for what you do and the clarity of your message is so great . Thank you Ryan .
Excellent explanation + video!! That's exactly what I'm practicing.
Thanks so much!
Oh Ryan sir one more great vedio thank you❤
Thank you for perfect explanation Ryan !!👍🏻
THANK YOU A LOT!!!
Happy to help Julio
Wow. Points well taken at 5 min mark. I normally make the last minute adjustments as he said and say the same thing about hitting it perfectly!!! Must have been watching my bad form.
Excellent instructions. This pro does an amazing job explaining Serena's shots too. Thank you.
Such a perfect example/explanation of the left elbows optimal position! I've noticed this from watching Stef and I think it's the element that makes his BH so identifiable from the rest
I have a good back hand but spray a few long. Going to practice keeping face of racket tilted down. Great clear instructions on one handed backhand execution
@@jbranche8024 I play the 1HBH too. Whenever that happens, I just relax the arm a bit so that it can rotate more on the way up and out to the right at the shoulder joint. That adds a lot of top spin to make sure it doesn’t go long and also helps handling high balls.
Than you Sir! That elbow tip is the piece I was missing. I have an appointment with the wall today.
Thank you so much for thegreat and Valuable instruction.keep up the good work.
Thanks. Perfect explanation
Great advice . Never thought about that "closed" position to the ground. Thanks.
Great one handed backhand lesson and great socks too !
Huge technique video!!!!
Very very good!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!
Excellent video!!!
Thank you for this excellent video.
I have had to change to a one-handed backhand from a two-handed because of back problems.
the part of closing racket head before contact was very enlightening, it's how we hit forehand as well but somehow never thought of it.
I was beginning to think this, then I found this vid. Wow!
Great explanation
Awesome video
nice excellent tips teaching thank you 👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Ryan
great video, thank you, plz what the grip use tsitsipas in his back hand?
Great lesson. Will try this out. I use a one handed backhand with an Eastern grip. The way I think of it is protecting my contact point out in front ; establish my contact point which will be dependent on grip (players with SW backhand grip will contact further out in front than Eastern grip players) and always try to make contact at that point out in front. To be clear, I never think about closing the racquet ~45 degrees at the bottom of the swing and not even sure if I am doing it (will have to check -- suspect I am more on edge at bottom of swing). But I do know that I never try to "roll" the racquet at contact to get the strings vertical -- that would be a nightmare to time -- I just swing out!. My backhand contact is pretty consistent but too flat and not enough topsin. Rarely miss long. Misses typically hit the near the tape.
I think you are saying that if you place the Topspin Pro in front of you and start at the bottom of the swing and swing with racquet face properly closed, as in 05:22, you will see the TopSpin Pro ball spin **MORE** than you would if you had started at the bottom of the swing with racquet face on edge. Correct?
Thanks coach Ryan! You nailed it on the single backhand instructions! And the Tsitsipas video example is priceless cause his is textbook, and I'm a fan! Thanks again, look forward to implement! Thx again
Super good tip, this has made a world of difference!
So happy to help you Lorenzo!
Ryan please can u explain the grip u r using for this backhand thanks
I NEEDED this video - MANY THANKS !
I BOUGHT the Topspin Pro over the winter, but RARELY see the DRILLS for USING it that I see on YOUR channel !
Cheers,
-Mark Vogt | VOGTLAND OUTDOORS
This is great Ryan. I’ve learnd this and I hits great shots then do it. Thing is i forget to lift my elbow way to often with not so great results cause it feels extreen to lift the elbow that high, but I want to do it like 24/7. Big thanks for the video though 👍
Thanh you for this clear and beautiful video!
I play one hand bachkand, i will prove this "elbow position" for sure because your explaine is very clear, i have just proved at hme et i think is possible that particular will work very good.
I have a question: you reccomend the same elbow position also for forheand (obviously for the raquet hand) .
Thank you 🙏 greatest from Italy and sorry for my English
🤗
Great tips. They work well I’m using this technique . I do have a question about forehand. Should your body rotation stop just before contact? Ie stop and pop! Then continue rotation?
Thanksssss
JMO, but the reason for this is the difference in wrist extension. If you have the racquet face open at the top and the wrist is extended when you drop, you’ll be OK. On the other hand if your elbow is up with your wrist extended at the top and your wrist is in neutral when you drop you are going to have problems. Notice that when you demonstrate the open position at the top your wrist is in neutral and this is a weak position, while when you demonstrate the elbow up your wrist is fully extended. Of course your chances of having the wrist extended when you drop the racquet are better if it is extended at the top so this is good advice. However, it isn’t a cure all because the drop still has to be done properly.
Nice video 💕,what racquet did you use in this video?
Awesome brother..
Hey thanks so much Vince!
I need to improve my position, indeed usually I need 10 minutes before starting to hit the ball correctly.
Great video
Thank you Jaime!
You are a woooow coach :)
Wow thank you so much Ahmed
With this technique I find myself getting more power, but my net clearance has not improved and most of all I struggle with high bouncing ball to my BH. What can I do to solve these 2 problems? Getting the racket up so high seems to force me to lean forward, lending itself to lower balls.
This is a great tip... but how about a slice... would the racket face be opened if you decide to slice instead of top spin the ball? BTW, just bought the TopSpin Pro through your link. I hope it works! :)
Hi, thank you, question about backhand grip. Can you explain difference between holding racket with 1. both index knuckle and heel pad on the same bavel (f.e #1) when index finger is little bit extanded and 2. holding it tightly like holding a sword when all fingers are aligned in one bevel
When they’re on the same bevel, your wrist will be much stronger at contact. This not only helps with ball striking but minimizes wrist strain and injury. Try holding your racket with each grip and mimic contact, you’ll see your wrist is at an angle when gripping it like a sword and it’s squared up and solid with the proper grip. Hope this helps.
But aren't we supposed to spread the index finger on the Eastern forehand grip? Why not the same on the Eastern backhand grip? See pic. i.ibb.co/yFTnG3G/Screenshot-2022-06-04-17-44-25.png
@@Better_Call_Raul I also hold the racket like in the pic. but recently coach told me to hold it tight, so shots will be deeper and with more pace
@@abdulazizkarimkhodjaev9184 This is the best explanation I’ve seen on grip placement and where I got my info. (hammer grip) I suppose there really isn’t a right or wrong but do question your coaches advice to squeeze tightly though. It doesn’t apply to the serve or forehand and isn’t necessary with the hammer grip as the wrist placement ensures solid contact without excessive tension. czcams.com/video/NrSzYKlTLic/video.html
@@Better_Call_Raul this might help:
czcams.com/video/NrSzYKlTLic/video.html
cool
Hey sorry if it's a repeated question but....what grip are you holding the racket with in this video?
Eastern backhand. :)
Thank you!
Thanks for asking :))
What's with the grip explanation? Missing it
Butt Cap should be facing outwards to get top spin & inwards to slice, coaches never mention this tip
I’m not sure what you’re saying. Can you explain further? Are your saying at contact? When you turn?
@@2MinuteTennis at the bottom when u get to the slot position,hope this helps.
I understand what you’re saying but it’s bit comparing apples to oranges. One could argue that the slot position of both has the butt caps pointing outward. Thanks!
Hi Ryan, it's me Jay can you please make a video about where is the best place to apply and position the lead tape on your tennis racket? Personally for me I want to have a lead tape that allows me to hit faster serve and power ground strokes.
Tennis
Coaches never mention getting your hitting elbow down low to your front leg to get under the ball to get top spin
Wish I had a one hander
Mais, oui ! Mais oui ! Mais ouiiiiiiiiii !
Gaining confidence? For sure. Winning more matches? I’m confident I will, eventually. 🙂
Not sure which grip he is using.
Feels much like hitting a baseball on the left side…? If I’m not mistaken.
The racket face “closed” is due to torso forward tilt. Imo
Thanks for your thoughts Yearning!
@@2MinuteTennis Great content, have watched several of your videos.
When hitting heavy does the player intentionally aim high over net or is it racket path that determines net clearance?
V V V GOOD THANKS JK
I appreciate the video but there is actually a better video that explains how to hit a one handed back hand. You forgot to mention the most important part. Keeping your wrist in an L on your follow through. That was the single most important lesson I learned when hitting with consistency.
To be sincere, you explanations are fairly convincing and your analysis is, as usual, very detailed, emphasizing little details of great importance. That being said, I am not sure whether you have been following S. Tsitsipas lately but, by all opinions, his «gorgeous» backhand as you call it is by far his weakest points. As a recent example and against L. Musetti, another (much more convincing) one-hander, he would hit something between 5% and 10% of his shots with his backhand, rather relying as much as he could on his huge inside-out forehand... He is now almost unable to hit any winner with his backhand : while this may result from the elbow surgery he had by the end of last year, it does remain that the quality of his one-handed backhand has nothing to do with the big names in the area, namely Thiem, Wawrinka, not to speak about Gasquet or even, in a good day, the stunning Shapovalov.
It may very well be true that Tsitsipas one hand backhand is weak relative to his peers Thiem, Wawrinka, etc. But at the end of the day Tsitsipas still has a world class one handed backhand; at least top 100 or 200 in the world. The purpose of the channel is not to particularly point out which pro has the strongest backhand, it is to instruct rec players. In that regard, Tsitsipas high left elbow takeback is something rec players can consider. And, AFAIK, there are not many top one handed pros using that high left elbow takeback. So Tsitsipas is a great example to demonstrate the high left elbow takeback that rec players might want to adapt. Particularly if that high left elbow takeback makes it more likely that rec players will properly close the racquet at the bottom of the swing.
@@Better_Call_Raul well said 👍
hi, I think in this clip the racquet face is closed because Tsitsipas was hitting a low ball. you can check out this clip where none of racquet face is closed.
czcams.com/video/l-oNbBVCrmU/video.html
When club players close the face they’re more consistent. Speaking from 25 years of coaching experience.
@@2MinuteTennis but if the incoming ball is high, there is no way you can close the racquet face.
Tmt forgets extension and pronation
Back hand bottom spin please
Just type “2MinuteTennis slice backhand” into CZcams and about a half dozen videos pop up. If you ever wonder if I have a video, simply search for it. I’m sure I’ve made a video on what we subject you’re looking for. Thanks!!
hehehhee nee
Did you stop with the "hhheeeelllooooooooo" intros???
Haha I did. Maybe I’ll bring it back every once in a while!
@@2MinuteTennis Ha! Love the channel, keep up the good work.
Just don’t copy Stef backhand footwork. Lazy as hell and even worse when you see his slice footwork!
*Dislike!* The main part is missed.
Thanks for watching!!!!
