Robert Lansdorp Talks about Roland Garros 2014 — 1 Comment

  1. I disagree with the notion that by playing flatter or farily flat you get better results in tennis or that I should be aware of a coach who teaches topspin or too much of it. If that was true, men would still be hitting flatly like Jimmy Connors did for example (as opposed to Borg in their days). You can still hit deep, hard spinning balls 2 or 3 feet over the net the way Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and others play. I myself wouldn’t hit a fairly flat forehand the way Sharapova does for a few reasons. Also, Stosur lost to Sharapova at French Open this year not because she plays an ATP style forehand with topspin, and Sharapova won because she hit fairly flat strokes. As for Serena Williams, you can watch a video on youtube when she was 11 and compare her flat forehand “racquet back” style with her forehand of 2013 and judge for yourself which one has more topspin.
