ATP has come up with a new video with that cartoonish tone that is delighting fans once again. This time, they have capitalized on the ongoing debate: the extinction of the one-handed backhand. In this clever video starring Grigor Dimitrov, some of the circuit's top players are shown doing everyday actions like brushing their teeth with two hands, alluding to the motto of "adapt or die." The images are worth seeing, and the ending holds a very sentimental star appearance.
