Question

What does backhand mean in tennis

Answer 1

In tennis, "backhand" refers to a shot played by hitting the ball on the opposite side of the body from where the player's racket hand is positioned. It is a stroke where the racket swings across the player's body, with the back of the hand facing the net. The backhand can be executed with one hand (one-handed backhand) or with both hands on the handle of the racket (two-handed backhand).
