TENNIS TALK

[dale1953]

I just wanted to add to my post.Even though Nadals best shot is his forehand,technically it is also his weakest shot if the ball is played really hard at it (because of his extreme grip).Usually players cant attack it though because Nadals balls bounce high on their backhand with alot of topspin.But Murray (and Djokovic) are tall enough and with their 2 handed backhands are able to attack those balls on hard courts,whereas Federer is not able to generate enough power with his backhand on those high balls.I am living in Switzerland so I dont know what you people hear on the TV coverage,but in case you didnt know this; Nadal is actually right handed and the only thing he does as a lefthander is play tennis.That explains some of the unbelievable backhands that he hits sometimes when he is out of position.You will notice after his matches when he throws balls or wristbands into the public,it will always be with his right hand.
