Diane Parry makes a surprising change to her backhand
Today, it is difficult to find men using the one-handed backhand, and within the women's circuit, this style is even rarer. Diane Parry is one of the few women who still excel with this type of stroke, although this recent preseason has brought some changes. As seen in the video below, the French player now opts for a two-handed backhand when returning, but during the rally, she reverts back to the one-handed backhand. An interesting combination that very few tennis players have shown in this sport, but Diane hopes it will help her get back to the top 100.

Noticed it during practice at AO but I wasn't sure if she was just messing around. Looks like she's doing it in matches though pic.twitter.com/Att56W4pEo
