(2) Chicago's Patrick Kane scored on a backhand at 9:40 of overtime to secure victory over Minnesota.
(3) Goffin saved that one before gifting Murray his fifth break as an overhit backhand by the Belgian put the 28-year-old 5-0 ahead before a comfortable hold to love ensured Murray saw out the match in just 53 minutes.
(4) Murray drags himself to 30-all but he's facing a break point when Dimitrov stuns a backhand down the line.
(5) In a perverse way, it’s a backhanded compliment to what is after all a young coach (he’ll turn 41 at the end of the month) that Kreis, at RSL, gets treated as part of the MLS furniture.
(6) In some instances, this difference in accuracy can be attributed to the fact that the intermediate players were unaware of what the telegraphic cues were (e.g., backhand shots) while, in other situations, the difference in prediction ability is primarily due to the intermediate players' more frequent failure to detect the presence of known telegraphic cues (i.e., forehand shots).
(7) Djokovic is hiding his problems better, but they're still visible in his tennis, as he parlays advantage into break point with a couple of unforced errors before lashing a crosscourt backhand wide – way wide – to relinquish control of the set and match.
(8) Telemetry EMG was used to assess the muscle activity of the anterior deltoid and the forearm extensor muscles during the forehand and backhand strokes of tennis in a selected group of test subjects.
(9) Updated at 4.44pm BST 4.39pm BST Second set: Djokovic 4-6, 4-2 Nadal* (*denotes server) After much head-shaking, Djokovic nails a forehand, before drawing Nadal to the net with a drop-shot, Nadal scooting to the backhand wing and force-scooping a winner crosscourt.
(10) Updated at 5.36pm BST 5.28pm BST Third set: *Djokovic 4-6, 6-3, 3-3 Nadal (*denotes server) At 15-all, a ridiculous point, Nadal the aggressor, winging forehands to Djokovic's backhand corner, before the opportunity to play a drop presents itself.

(12) When the diva’s metronomic backhand malfunctioned and the last point of the set strayed wide, the cheers for the French-speaking Canadian sounded genuine enough.
(13) Federer flays a backhand into the corner but Murray reads it and eventually he's able to send an easy backhand past Federer.
(14) 3.44pm BST First set: *Djokovic 1-4 Nadal (*denotes server) Djokovic scurries to the net, slicing a backhand volley crosscourt when there was no need - Nadal's groundstroke was going wide.

(16) 12.14pm BST Play begins on Centre , where Sabine Lisicki pockets her opening service game with a scooped backhand into the open court.
(17) Next up, a forehand down the line unsettles Dimitrov, who was waiting for the backhand, and he can only push the next return into the net.
(18) But he doesn't win it, and a moment later – having taken control of the rally – he nets a straightforward backhand and Nadal has held.
(19) Though they have almost all fallen on their own swords (for taking backhanders, plagiarising PhDs), their demise under her leadership has earned her one of her many nicknames, Männermörderin (men murderer).
(20) Inspired by the idea of a city built around an airport (she grew up in Hounslow, near Heathrow), it leaves behind the constraints of any one genre, meandering through R&B-inflected garage (Beach Mode), instrumental grime (Backhand Winners) and Omar S-style stripped-back melodic techno (Eternal Mode).
