I really don’t remember seeing anyone else use it as much as he did last year…….now, lots more younger players are using it. Nothing against the power shots, but the finesse and the hidden beauty of the drop shot just makes me love the players using it.

Good match going on right now at the French, Osaka vs Swiatek.
