When one watches Lorenzo Musetti play, one regains faith. The faith that the classic, the aesthetic, the precious... has not been lost. What he did today against Zverev, weaving magic with that one-handed backhand, is proof that the one-handed backhand is not only not condemned to extinction but is more relevant than ever.

Because some say that tennis is dangerously heading towards a future where everyone plays the same. Two-meter-tall players serving at 240km/h and hitting forehand bombs. Faced with this, the best option may be to have a two-handed backhand to counter such a bombardment. Watching Musetti rise in the circuit, breaking through his limits and aiming higher each time, one can only believe.

Believe that the one-handed backhand is not old but should be classified as vintage. Perhaps there are children who love tennis and see Musetti's backhand as the Holy Grail. The relic that will make a difference in the tennis of the future. Because in the tennis world of 1, 2, 3, Musetti arrives to perform magic and paint like Michelangelo, capturing the hearts of fans and allowing us to believe that another tennis is possible. There are few like him who enjoy watching tennis so much.

We have all doubted the health of the one-handed backhand. In a way, we lost hope and accepted that it would eventually disappear. When we see the way Lolo executes it, one can only wish that if it must be condemned to something, it is to be more alive than ever. Who can't admire the one-handed backhand the way Musetti hits it?

Watching him hit this shot is like reliving first love, the one they say you never forget. Because so many two-handed backhands have passed through our lives, most of them go completely unnoticed. A good one-handed backhand, like Musetti's, is what reaches deep into our hearts. It might not end up in a museum, but there is no greater work of art than one that can lift people out of their seats to applaud. 

Eternal life to that one-handed backhand. May it never be lost.
