biggest weapons in Jannik Sinner\u2019s armoury is his power-packed serve, but a leading coach has suggested he would not try and encourage his students to replicate the explosive weapon that has propelled the world No.1 to the top of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner\u2019s extreme wrist rotation and the whip he generates on his forehand are one of the reasons why he has become almost unbeatable at the top of the men\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p>Respected coach Kyle Kleyn has given Tennis365 his verdict on Sinner\u2019s forehand, which starts with the racket pointing in the wrong direction before he whips it into a position that gives him unrivalled power that is proving to be too much for his rivals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lot of wrist movement in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> forehand,\u201d said Kleyn, who is the lead coach at the <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\"

Hills Racket Club in Cyprus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you break Sinner\u2019s swing down, it starts in the shoulder. He is so relaxed in his shoulder and that\u2019s a key. If you have tension in the shoulder, there\u2019s no way you are going to get the racket to generate that head speed.<\/p>\n<h2>More Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jannik-sinner-rated-best-in-the-world-in-crucial-area-by-boris-becker\">Jannik Sinner rated \u2018best in the world\u2019 in crucial area by Boris Becker<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/patrick-mouratoglou-explains-jannik-sinner-never-take-part-grand-slam-boycott\">Patrick Mouratoglou explains why Jannik Sinner would never take part in a Grand Slam boycott<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I was working with a player who was trying to do that forehand, I would not tell them to stop, but I would work on timing with them. That\u2019s the key to the shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s fundamental to be able to get the racket all the way around to get the strike on the ball he gets so consistently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, he has a stronger core than Carlos Alcaraz and that helps him to play that forehand. He is using a lot of the core to generate that power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving a strong core from his skiing days allows him to relax a little more and get through the shot. It is an incredible forehand, no doubt about it but if an amateur player came to me and said I want to copy that, I wouldn\u2019t teach it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSinner is strong enough to be able to play that way, but it would not be easy for a club player to try and hit that forehand consistently.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
