However, I wish these television announcers would stop repeating this complete myth that Steve was taught the slice backhand by Craig Boynton and the USTA coaching team as a way of trying to cope with his weaker topspin backhand. Anyone who watched Steve play in college knows that this was one of his signature shots starting his freshman year and before that. Obviously, his father, who is a teaching professional and his coach, taught him this shot. Steve’s father must laugh (or cry) every time he hears this garbage. <br />The announcers also don’t understand that this slice is probably the best slice on the ATP tour and it slides so low that it’s a weapon that creates many unforced errors like it did against Sock and Bellucci in the Houston tournament. They just call it a “weak” backhand and think Steve wins purely on his competitiveness to overcome his “weak” shot.Johnson & Johnsonnoreply@blogger.com
