This young prodigy never hits a backhand 🔥 #tennis #tenniscoach #prodigy #reaction

Would love to see this style in world stage competition.

The serving with both hands.... That's wild. I've been keeping an eye on this kid and I'm continually impressed. I can play off hand but never the serve. He's ambidextrous to a degree we've never seen.

[kurofune.uragabay]

I always thought there would be one day a fully ambidextrous pro player dominating everything at some point, taking the "arms race" to the next level. Especially with serve, it would be literally game-changing.

Luke Jensen in the 80's. Won the Roland Garros Men's Doubles Title with his brother Murphy.
Truly ambidextrous

[Roreoz]

You are one of my favorite coaches of all times you are one of the main reasons I started to play tennis and now I am the top 300 in the nation and 60 in Texas

[justbeyourself]

I play only backhands. It's super surprising for myself

[terpentoon]

There was a Dutch player Marijke Schaar, who used to play both forehands. She was 4 times Dutch champion.

I played a junior at our club who played like this. I thought I was going senile when he returned all my serves as FH no matter what corner I served to.

At higher levels and faster pace, the switching has the ability to cause issues. Singles play not as much, but doubles would be a challenge. The ambidextrous serve is definitely a huge advantage when used correctly.

Two handed BH is technically 70-80% left hand forehand for the right handed. That's why I try to learn two handed BH as a one handed BH player myself.

[不想留底]

Many people say that switching between left and right hands is a problem, but in fact, the acquired forehand and the innate one can be held in different positions, and the forehand does not need to be exactly the same. The acquired forehand can use more topspin, such as Nadal's style . When intercepting or hitting the ball while running, you don't necessarily have to use the forehand. You can also use the backhand when necessary. The backhand can also be trained appropriately for emergencies. In fact, there is nothing wrong with hitting like this. Most people just can't hit like this anymore. so they were just jealous and don't want it was can working.

I'm cross-dominant - I play lefty, but I play golf right-handed, and I've tried out the double forehand thing. Getting the right grip that quickly is IMPRESSIVE.

What are your predictions for this young player?

[geemy]

-its probably better for the body to play symmetrically
-obviously if you have a strong forehand on both sides its an advantage and same for the serve
-serve on both sides also reduces the toll on the body
-volley might be a problem you dont have time to switch grip, he will have either to learn backhand volley or hold a neutral grip with two hand and volley on one side holding the grip in the middle. that could work though
-it would be sad to see backhand disappear. itcoupd happen Iong term but there will always be backhands, it could just become a minority amongs top players like one handed BH today

[yeltsinsirob]

My friend was coached in Egypt when he was younger and the coach would never let him use his right hand (natural RH), so he was only ever allowed to play as a leftie. But in competitions his opponents always complained and the umpires made him choose 1 hand only. Surely if you practice the skills enough you should be allowed to use it???
He is now 20 and a phenomenal player/coach…

[movdqa]

One of my hitting partners has complete strokes on both sides, one-handed and two-handed backhands. He learned the other side because of a shoulder injury and it took him 10 years to develop the lefty stuff. So these players do exist though they are rare.

[anknjv]

The problem with that is the switching of the grip from right hand to left, since you have to switch hands at the base of the racquet it would take far longer to make the transition than that of a normal backhand. It will end up becoming a weakness after the opponent understands the trick.

[mauricioventanas]

My instructor hit a forehand with the left today, totally out of the blue, for no reason. Totally freaked me out but I was able to stay in the rally.

[AeiKei]

Having too many options could create confusion, then if a mistake comes then he could think "maybe I should have played a BH instead of a FH" and viceversa
