Fognini, playing like a FO contender he is certainly capable of playing like, is up 2 sets to none over FAA.

The slice is a bit big and wild for me but I am happy to give the benefit of the doubt its an oncoming heavy and fast ball so will give him a pass. I have watched this clip 25 times and have not become tired of it yet.

Interesting stroke, and to be one of the top pros in the world speaks to his game without a doubt. I don't know his speed and spin numbers, but at first look I see his topspin hitting arm prepared well, but possibly I'd like to see his hitting arm tuck in a bit tighter to his body before unleashing it. As I look at Stans and Fed backhands I see this "inside - out" a bit more. As for his backhand slice, the knife is severe and downward. The more severe the downward path, the more severe the face has to open. I think its a very talented shot, but I'm wondering about its difficulty under pressure. The path starts quite a bit above his head and the path creates pace, but it seems mostly to be in the spin realm, and less speed (which is okay). Of course, slice backhands like this, if executed, can work real well. It definitely isn't designed to "drive" through...

Who said an old dog can’t learn new tricks.

A perfect model. My only caution would be the ability of a junior to sequence the motion correctly to avoid the shoulder and wrist deceleration issues that could occur on the long follow through. Obviously, his preparation( including footwork) is flawless and is cost effective in regards to energy expenditure and injury prevention.

This should be a quiet message board this month! Nothing to pick at here this is a beautiful backhand to watch! Looks fun to hit!

Certainly it looks like the best of the next group of players coming on, it seems better than Tsitsipas' or Thiem, both the topspin and slice. Probably not as good as Gasquet or Stan, maybe Kohlscheiber the closest match.

Musetti and Tsitsipas are the two players in the top 20 with one-handers. Here is Musetti and his is technically beautiful. His grip isn’t super extreme. Preparation and extension are gorgeous, close to perfect. A good model?
I say yes! What do you guys think? And what about his slice?
