why?

[jeebeesus]

why dont we see wta players do the between the legs shot?

 

[Moose Malloy]

Gabriela Sabatini did it quite a bit.

Commentators often called it the 'Sabatweenie"

Because they never chase balls to the back. Everytime I see one of them get lobbed they just watch and hope it lands out, rofl.

Good point. It requires exquisite speed, and not many women are capable of that.

 

[nat75]

Because there aren't ball artists like Sabatini anymore.

 

[ubermeyer]

it's just a funny trick

 

[8pNADAL]

its not ladylike, it looks wrong

 

[Migelowsky]

because they don't come to the net

 

[wyutani]

they rarely lob.

 

[8pNADAL]

hingis came to the net a lot (often after she played a dropshot and followed it in) and i saw a lot of players lob over her and she would run back and NEVER play the between the legs shot ever

 

[big bang]

I think Henin did it a few times
