This is a great fight from Hachard. He uses so much legs in that forehand to lift the ball with power. He has very good backswing in that forehand technique! Great match! One question, how do you get this footage @MrThePortal

I noticed that Hachard hit the heavy backspin balls on the rise. I have never played against a good chopper before. Is this the "secret" technique in playing against defender?

I think the secret in this match was the variety of ways Hachard hit the ball, he used slow loops, fast loops, drives, and drop shots. Just as a good chopper varies the spin, I think Hachard used good variation in his attack to keep Shiono off balance.

I loved this coaches view angle - gives a different perspective than the ittv view.

In this view you can really see how fast and spinny professional player's topspins are. Hachard played beautifully!
