Tennis dudes, quick question.
Why does it seem like so many guys lose their forehand first as they get older? Is it a concentration thing? Have they just taken it for granted for so long that they don't Conor us to work on it?
It seems like when guys like Rafa and Fed are struggling as they age it's because their forehands are spraying. Any thoughts? Is this a trend or are they unique?

forehand is the power stroke. as control starts to wane with age, the forehand suffers most.

I think Rafa's case is unique because of his racquet head speed and swing. He uses a pretty light racquet and the fact that he can whip that thing around like a windshield wiper and control it at all is amazing. I am not surprised the shot has been off a bit. The biggest thing with him this year is no depth. I think it's tough for him to flatten out the forehand the way he can with his backhand. Some people think he needs to dump the hollow, light racquet, but to me that would take away his bread and butter of a zillion RPMs on the forehand.
I don't think Fed's forehand has declined much. He has always had shank problems on the backhand. The bigger racquet has definitely helped the backhand. I think he actually sprays the forehand more with it and has less control, but he has more easy power. There is some debate about whether it has helped the serve.

What would be the debate? He's been serving incredibly.
