Musetti on the one-handed backhand: "I wouldn't recommend it to a child starting out"

Over time, fewer and fewer professional players possess a one-handed backhand. This is notably due to the evolution of equipment over the years.

Asked about this by the media outlet SDNA, Lorenzo Musetti stated: "I wouldn't recommend the one-handed backhand to a child starting out, because modern tennis is really very difficult, especially due to the speed of the game and the potential disadvantages on the return.

Of course, out of passion for tennis, I would say yes. But if you ask me honestly, for example if we were talking about my son, I would want him to have a two-handed backhand."
