Photo Study of Ana Ivanovic's Forehand
By Jeff Cooper, About.com
Usually, if the head of the racquet points downward at the end of the follow-through, as Ana's does here, it indicates that she has hit considerable topspin. Her racquet rose sharply enough earlier in the swing to peak well before the end of her follow-through. Compare this photo to the next, where Ana has hit through the ball with less topspin.
