On the Coach’s Mailbag, Gill Gross is joined by Hugh Clarke, author of tennis analysis newsletter ThreadOfOrder to answer your comments. First, we discuss how grass could change the dynamics of Carlos Alcaraz vs. Jannik Sinner and why the development of Jakub Mensik’s forehand will be pivotal. Comments include: should young players only learn two-handers, which skills rule on grass, is eye dominance important, analysis of Alexander Zverev’s and Holger Rune’s forehand, Alcaraz’s technique changes on backhand and serve, why Lorenzo Musetti is protecting his backhand better than Stefanos Tsitsipas, bent vs. straight arm forehands, the GOAT tennis coach, the importance of sliding, which pro has the most textbook technique, Iga Swiatek’s serve and how important are big muscles for big power?
