Steffi Graf Backhand Slice in slow motion: This is not your typical slice shot. Steffi's slice was half block/half slice. She drove the face of the racquet through the shot and out toward the target as you can see from the replay. This gave the shot almost as much momentum and pace as a typical backhand drive, flat or topspin. As she drove the face of the racquet through the ball, she'd continue to come under the ball until her racquet face begins to turn back toward her. That is what accounts for the extreme slice. And, that is why at its best Steffi's slice had a lower trajectory over the net and moved through the court. French 1999
