Two Handed Forehand !!!

It only means that there are things on this world that cant be explained.

Iga Świątek won Roland Garros. We Poles are proud. She can be much better. When she switch to two handed forehand she will be unbeatable.

Great performance from Swiatek, wouldnt change that heavy fh stroke though.

Is there any views on which racquets traditionally help with the cons of 2 handed forehand and backhand players? Like extended, larger head size, higher/lower swingweight and twistweight, balance, stiffness.. ?

There have been several players that hit the 2 hand FH with the dominant hand on the bottom, some with the dominant hand on top and some even hit their 2 hand BH (for those that played 2 handed on both sides) with the dominant hand on top. More than one way to hit it.

It is simple. Most players using two handed forehand were very weak when they were children. In two handed forehand mostly one hand is active(right) and in two handed backhand two hands are active. You see that Hradecka who is strong has powerful two handed forehand. We could only imagine how fast Nadal or Federer would hit the ball if they used two handed forehand.
To change technique of playing tennis in the whole world one Seles is not enough. What is equally important. I wouldnt advise to learn her forehand. There are much better two handed forehands (Peng, Hradecka, Bartoli).

I would politely disagree that Hradecka is one of the few players with a two-hand forehand that has a better forehand than backhand. As a player with a two-hand forehand, I have been very, very aware of world-ranked players that have played with two hands on both sides and I will say that in my humble opinion most of them (well over half) have a better backhand. Some of them even said so when asked.

And his other manifestation, @Gregory Diamond? Has this entity been reincarnated with a new identity? I thought I saw a poster last year who might have been PolishPhysicist 3.0

Some of my favourite tekkers talks with GD. I hope he poasts here again soon. Still keen to find out if he ever cracked the Polish vets national finals. He could play for sure.

Looks like it’s been 11 months so it might not happen under either of his known names

I think we’d recognise him under a new user name. He like his two handed threads and wasn’t backward in coming forward with his opinions

Thought I saw someone, briefly, in the past 6 months or so who came off like a manifestation of GD. But I may be mistaken.
