Two hands on both sides becoming popular with female pros.

We see Bartoli playing with 2hands on both sides in Bali, Peng Shuai and Yan zhi in China, Akiko in Japan and many others with pretty good results. They strike the ball with more accuracy and power with two hands on both side but they tend to be a step slower which is not that crucial for women. I think it is a good thing we are having more varieties in the game.

The best at it was Monica Seles.

You can think of this the same way as ballroom dancing, for instance, where some of the dances tend to use one-handed moves, whereas others use two-handed moves.

Tennis is a dance, where the racket is the dance partner's arm, swing after swing. I'm sure Andy Roddick has dreamed before, that he was the racket of Sharapova's forehand. How much better would it be for that dream if that forehand were done with two hands!

Some like it with one.

Well I think it's because these are the girls that probably started playing tennis around the Seles domination era. So that probably plays a factor in this.
