“Definitely, he’s not just a basketball legend, he knows his tennis! He has a pretty good one-hander himself. But I missed a few one-handers. I kind of made sure I didn’t look over there. Hopefully, he wouldn’t be shaking his head saying I’d have made that.” commented Eubanks.

A few years back Nowitzki had revealed that while there are several impressive one-handers on the tour, there is only one who stands out among them. Who is he?
Almost 4 years back, when he was asked who has the best one-handers in men’s tennis. He said, “Roger to me is of course one of the best. Stan Wawrinka has a laser of a one-hander, and he’s super-fun to watch with his power game. Dominic Thiem is coming up and his one-hander is beautiful and powerful. That’s just to name a few. There are so many great one-handers in the game.”
