Two hand backhand is ugly

[nicklane1]

Been paying more attention to the ATP and WTA 2 hand backhands lately. Zverev vs Paul tonight in particular. The stroke looks like throwing snow with a shovel... So ungainly.

Granted this is a very effective stroke. If I were to start over, I would probably play two handed on the backhand side. It's just not pleasant to watch.

I always played single handed when I was a kid. If I had to do it over again I would probably go for the two hander. Don’t play anymore though I hit a few tennis balls on my local racquetball court. Still using single handed.

Some can play that shot beautifully, though. Marat Safin, for example.
