The incredible fact that shows the slow extinction of the one-handed backhand
The upcoming ATP Finals 2024 do not yet know their complete lineup, but they already reveal a fact related to the gradual disappearance of the one-handed backhand. There has always been a player with this stroke in every edition of the end-of-year tournament... until this 2024, where all participating players will use a two-handed backhand. In recent seasons, names like Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka, Dominic Thiem, and Stefanos Tsitsipas ensured the presence of this stroke; this year, Grigor Dimitrov was the closest to qualifying. A fact as sad as it is real.
😪 For the FIRST TIME in ATP Finals history (with Round Robin format, since the 80s), there will be NO players with a one-handed backhand
