He won 14 tournies, all on clay.
He also played 9 finals including a GS... Roland Garros'94, he lost in 4 against another great player, Sergi Bruguera .
That year he won 8 tournaments, reached his best ranking (7) and played the Masters cup.

Re: WTF! Hawiaan Forehand Grip!!!
there is a girl in my club who uses this grip. it creates a lot of topspin but her backhand sucks bec re-adjusting takes so long that she rarely changes the grip in time. her knees are shot to hell but i'm not sure that that has anything to do with the grip.

Re: WTF! Hawiaan Forehand Grip!!!
Oh yes, Berasategui ..he was very good on clay , technically and powerfully ..and i still remember him being a big surprise doing very well and reaching the final at RG 1994..but i guess that was his biggest achievement in his career..he retired at the age of 27 i guess..
