Coco Gauff. Mirra Andreeva. Iga Swiatek.
Yup — the same grip many coaches still call “too extreme.” 😮💨
Personally, I prefer a semi-western grip…
but this is the perfect reminder of a powerful truth in tennis:
🎾 THERE IS NO SINGLE “PERFECT” GRIP
Every player has a unique body structure, timing, and perception of the ball.
What matters is not fitting into a textbook model —
but finding the grip that supports your natural swing path.
Gauff, Andreeva, and Swiatek prove that even at the highest level,
there is no one-size-fits-all technique.
As long as you have:
✅ Great footwork
✅ Early preparation
✅ A clean contact point
…you can build an elite forehand around any grip that feels natural to you. 💪🎾
