Episode Notes

Andy Roddick and Chris Eubanks debate the Greatest Backhands of All Time on the ATP Tour. From Jimmy Connors’ simple mechanics to Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray’s sliding, elastic defense, they break down how the shot evolved. They dive into legends like David Nalbandian, Marat Safin, and Lleyton Hewitt, plus Chris explains how modern giants like Zverev and Medvedev reshaped the backhand game. They also cover the latest tour results: Ben Shelton capturing the Nexo Dallas Open title, Karolína Muchová winning her first title in seven years, Francisco Cerúndolo taking the title in Buenos Aires, and Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek withdrawing from Dubai.
