During the Indian Wells Masters 1000 final against Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev is demonstrating why he has one of the best backhands on the ATP circuit, as well as one of the most solid. Such is the confidence of the Russian tennis player in this shot, that he is the only player in the entire top 20 of the ATP ranking who hits more backhands than forehands, sometimes even reversing the usual trend.
