Grigor Dimitrov, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Denis Shapovalov took part in a hilarious skit designed by ATP in which they and other one-handed backhand specialists attempt to switch to two hands.
The skit comes amid debate over the relevance of a one-handed backhand in modern-day tennis.
The video shows Dimitrov and other one-handed backhand specialists attempting to “change” their lifestyle and use both hands as the one-handed backhand is now “dead.”
It features all the major one-handed backhand experts on the ATP Tour trying to do routine activities with two hands instead of one.
The skit goes on to show Tsitsipas trying to brush his teeth with both hands on the toothbrush; Shapovalov struggling to open a door with the same; Stan Wawrinka failing darts; Dominic Thiem messing up his painting; Christopher Eubanks and Dan Evans finding it hard to eat and drink; and Lorenzo Musetti struggling to sign autographs.
