Jannik Sinner Forehand Technique

6 video lessons

Clean, flat power, and which parts of it to copy.

Quick answer & tips ▾

Sinner hits a flatter, faster forehand than most top players. His stroke combines quick footwork to set up, a compact take-back, strong lag and a long extension through the ball, so it penetrates the court instead of kicking up high.

Coaches point out that some of his habits, like hitting very flat and taking the ball early, demand elite timing. Club players can borrow his footwork and extension while keeping a bit more topspin for safety.

Key tips

  • Set your feet early with small adjustment steps.
  • Extend through the ball toward the target.
  • Add a little more spin than Sinner for margin.
  • Keep the take-back compact.
