    Great analysis and vid, John.

    I can't resist posting this. I overlaid a frame from your vid of Meddy on Tsitsipas.

    What's the difference on the reverse follow through? Mainly, that Tsitsi is hitting a backhand <g>

    Stef does appear to be way more western fh grip there than his standard fh grip.

    Karatsev I was thinking also. Also Fognini maybe.

    John, you mentioned that Fed has 1/10 of a second or less, bounce to contact. Have you measured anyone else who is close to that?

    Great article John. I found the lack of time he has compared to Fed due to his backswing size very interesting. I noticed Medvedev has limited pronation just after contact. I think that’s largely due to him making contact so close to his body (laterally and less in front). Thoughts? Also I wonder if him having a large backswing makes it less natural to get the full stretch of the non-dominant arm during the preparation. Do you see any correlations with that?
