How do you keep your forehand steady, yet devastating?
Juan Martin Del Potro seems to have the answer.
You start with having a 6'6" wingspan, you do away with any notion of trying to outspin Nadal, and you keep your backswing as simplified as possible.
Del Potro idolized Pete Sampras growing up, but notice how much simpler his preparation is than a his hero's.
Was this simplification more necessary because of Del Potro's longer limbs, or should all players strive to keep their backswings as simple as the Argentine's?
