Barasetegui's forehand grip was probably the most extreme ever at the pro level. Poster jklm is correct, it was basicly a continental grip, hitting the ball with the opposite side of the racquet, some would call it a Hawaiin forehand grip. His forehand was a huge weapon, it had to be because he had the worst backhand in pro tennis, and his serve was certainly no weapon.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to John for adding Mr. Gaudio to the archives.
He is my fave BHander on Tour at the moment and my role model.
Thank You !

Amen to that! And don't forget about that forehand--great unit turn and set-up, not that extreme of a grip, good extension. His strokes have so much acceleration and smoothness to them. My favorite parts of his stroke archive are the wide backhand and inside in forehand clips.Comment
