Serena Williams Photos: Picture Gallery of Strokes
By Jeff Cooper, About.com Guide
When you're stretching for a ball as Serena is in this photo, a one-handed slice provides more reach with better balance than any two-handed stroke would. Serena is using a Continental grip, which keeps her right hand in the same position it has for her two-hander.
