Juan Carlos Ferrero of Spain launches a forehand at the Australian Open on January 19, 2006 in Melbourne, Australia. Juan Carlos gives a beautiful demonstration here of one of the keys to strong groundstrokes: making good use of the power in your legs. Despite the tremendous movement of his whole body, he still manages to keep his head still, looking at his point of contact for a split second after the ball leaves his racquet.
