Roger Federer Backhand Analysis
Here's an analysis of Roger Federer's backhand, his motion is less complex than Gasquet's, but more complex than James Blake's.
Richard Gasquet's Backhand
Here is an analysis of Richard Gasquet's backhand. Gasquet's preparation is much more complex than James Blake's, but his results are impressive to say the least!
James Blake's Backhand
