Former player Stubbs has criticised a publication for omitting Steffi Graf from the list of the best one-handed backhand player noting how effective it was.
Graf is a legendary player who needs no introduction as her skill is well known to the wider tennis audience. One of the best players of all time, Graf had an array of weapons including a one-handed backhand that Stubbs described as torturous. However, one tennis publication omitted her from the list of best one-handed backhand players and the Australian called them out on it:
She responded to a Tweet writing:
"Ash Barty and not Steffi Graf on this list. Ash had a two-handed backhand and if you count her slice then u must count Steffis. Steffi tortured her opponents with that slice which set up her forehand. Also Steffi had a one hander not 2. Do yourself a favor and do an addendum."
