Video: Thiem’s Dream Two-Hander



We often see players that specialize in the two-handed backhand take one hand off to produce a one-handed surprise. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is one of the best at making the switch, but rarely do we see players do what Austrian Dominic Thiem did on this set point vs. Yen-Hsun Lu in Shanghai.

Thiem will face Feliciano Lopez in second-round action later today in Shanghai.
