Funny to hear him critique the backhand. It is just so painfully obvious that the next wave of players need to develop a more well rounded arsenal of shots and tactics in order to push players like Novak for the next year or two.

It is just shocking how few of these current 3-15 ranked players even possess a slice that is decent, let alone something that can allow them to come forward or merely change up a rally.

Really, I think we are talking Alcaraz, Nadal and possibly PCB as the only ones that could use that shot effectively more than just a throw in once and while. Wailing away on topspin heavy baseline balls is just not going to cut it.
