Who is the last one-handed-backhand player to win a Grand Slam title?

  • Serena Williams

  • Sharapova

  • Francesca Schiavone

  • Venus Williams

Answer

The last one-handed backhand player to win a Grand Slam title is Francesca Schiavone. She won the French Open in 2010. One-handed backhands are becoming increasingly rare in professional tennis, as they are more difficult to execute and less powerful than two-handed backhands. However, some players, such as Schiavone, have been able to use the one-handed backhand to great success.
