Jelena Jankovic Photos: Picture Gallery of Strokes

In contrast to the classic two-hander Jelena hit in the last photo, here she is hitting with almost a fully open stance. This time, her weight is almost entirely on her left foot, and it's the right that barely touches the ground. We get a good look at Jelena's two-handed grip here; her left hand is in the most common position, the equivalent of an Eastern forehand, but her right hand is almost Eastern too, which is less common. Most players prefer to have the right hand in a Continental position, finding that grip more comfortable for hitting the two-hander with strong topspin.
