Federer needs to switch to a two-handed forehand

84% of Federer's shots went to Nadal's backhand. Why do you think Federer concentrated on Nadal's backhand?

84% of all of nadals shots went to federers backhand. Why do you think nadal concentrated on Feds backhand ?

You made that up. How can they both have the exact same percentage??:confused:

In any event even if that were true then that would be a silly move on Feds part. According to the Tennis Channel commentators Nadals backhand is (and I quote): "Rock Solid."

Im not saying that feds solution should be a two handed backhand...but federer clearly needs to defend his backhand against Nadals relentless attack of it.

I think everyone agrees that Feds main problem is his backhand against Nadal. Even the commentators said that Nadals strtaegy against Fed is simplistic and to simply attack feds backhand. The question is what does federer do about it???

no one switches to a different stroke in their career number 1 or number 243 in the world. these pros wont even switch their racquet frames what makes you think federer will switch to a two hander. plus two hander feels terrible with the racquet he uses.

I think Breakpoint was only joking. He was not serious about Federer switching to a two handed forehand.

Many pros, including top tenners like Davy and the Brians have switched to O ports or Speed ports, which are quite different racquets and cannot be PJ-ed.

What a lame attempt to attack the 2HBH by using scarcasm against the 2HFH! The 2HFH is a total different animal, not even on the same food chain.
Tell that to Monica Seles and Marion Bartoli.

You use two feet when you play tennis, don't you? Two feet are two feet and two hands are two hands. Same animal.
 
Exactly. I'm illustrating how ridiculous it is for people to suggest Federer completely change his strokes to using two hands - on either side!

Well I am so big I need to use two hands when stroking. But thats a different topic. As far as Federer his ego is so big he definitely needs to hands to stroke that ego...lol.
 
Did you watch the match? Almost all of Federer's shots, especially approach shots, went to Nadal's backhand.

Thus, your % number is as good as mine.

No not really. Nadal actually hit to feds backhand 84% of the time. Unlike you i did not make up that figure.

Now I dont know how many of feds shots actually went to nadals backhand. Maybe most of them did...I rteally dont know. The point is that you cant just make stuff up.

The other difference is that if that is what feds doing I have some news for him: ITS NOT WORKING!!!!!.

Nadal's lefty crosscourt forehand automatically goes to Federer's backhand, and most shots are hit crosscourt.
