Novak Djokovic’s backhand – Shots of the pros, EPISODE 5

In this video, I look in detail at Novak Djokovic’s backhand – and rate each element. It’s too simple to say a backhand – or any shot – is good or bad.

That’s why I’m breaking down the very best shots in the sport like this. And Djokovic’s backhand is definitely one of the best shots in the sport.

In fact, it’s a master class. So here I analyse what makes it so very special – from his brilliant balance to his laser accuracy.

I look at – and rate – the following elements:
– his ability to change direction
– his accuracy
– his change of pace
– his counterpunching
– his ball heaviness
– his generation of pace
– his movement
– how solid his backhand is under stress
– his passing shot and lob
– his touch

I’ll sum it all up at the end with my rating – but it’s not an exact science, it’s just my opinion. Put your views in the comments.
