    I think Richard Gaquets backhand is incredible. *drools*
    Obviously notable mentions for Nadal forehand and Fed backhand. ;)

    I think Wawrinka's backhand is better.

    The 1 handed back hand is one of the most beautiful sporting sights or moves. It's pure poetry. I think Gasquet's is overrated. Kuerten's for me was the best of all. Fed's a close second.

    For 2 handers it has to be Agassi's. What a shot!

    Justine henin's backhand was probably the most incredible women shot I ever seen.

    +1 for Henin's backhand. Single best shot in the women's game imo. Graf's forehand comes a very close second for me.

    Roddick's serve. It's like a sonicboom if you ever saw it live.

    Best ever serve? Sampras for me!

    All this talk of one handed backhands and no mention of Federer!!
    Best sight by far on a tennis court is Federer's footwork - totally effortless!!

    Great shout! The way he brings his elbow through the swing first is so difficult to replicate. He has a beautiful stroke, cant really be matched for agression! Hes a shot at the US this year imo.
