My favorite is the forehand rocket winner when both players are at the baseline and the opponent can do nothing about it except look at the ball. Roddick, Johannson, Gonzo, and Moya are all pretty good at doing this.

im a counter puncher therefore i barely get any winners. what gets me pumping is running down balls and seeing my opponent hit the ball out or dump it into the net. i love it when they think they have an easy putaway when i just put the ball back in play with decent pace. aces are nice, but my serve is very under powered but consistent, so i barely get any of these.
it gets me pumped up when i know that running down a ball was worth the point.

it's a combination of two shots. I love approaching with my backhand slice and then a putaway volley :)

TS lob. It is very disheartening to face them for many people, so I feel just a few TS lobs has an accumulative effect that transcends just one shot. They will either back off the net a bit, or they will stick with the net and often quit covering the lob, just looking back to see if it fell in. It also is one of those shots where you can stand still and admire your pretty shot. Whoops, not everytime! Well, most of the time, it's just a few people who can hit overheads into the corner from their baseline.

Hmmm...a tie between the a crosscourt backhand volley (preferably low) and a down the line one-handed backhand passingshot.

I love destroying overheads and I try to do my best Sampras by getting off the ground, rotating the shoulder and hips and even throwing in a little scissors kick. This is the most dominating shot in tennis just like slam dunking on someone basketball. Its really cool when you can put the ball out of the stadium, or atleast 25 or so rows up :o

To be able to completely turn the point around with a great topspin lob. Next choice would be a great drop shot.
The mid-court forehand kill shot, with compact topspin. Aces are great, but serving a heavy ball to the body, producing a high handcuff and a helpless or no reply, is very cool.

mid court kill shot with an inside out forehand...it feels so good when your opponent is just helpless, then go with a big fist pump...its one of those moments that makes me love tennis

Any hardly struck passing shot... but especially a passing shot with the one-hander.

Serve return is nice, especially you got a fast serve and the ball return back down the line about the same time the opponent finish his service motion.
I am mostly a counterpuncher almost pusher, I love it when I hit everything back deep and almost licking the baseline, quite often I could see my opponent start cursing or mumbling went he tracked the ball and he was suprised by the ball licking the baseline again and again and again....

One handed back hand top spin lob. I am still trying to get it right, but the look of disbelieve from the net rusher is very satisfying.
I just love to rip it past the net player at high speeds, preferably down the line, and then watch him standing there totally helpless.. aaah.. :)
Best would be to do this with the one-hander, but any hard struck one-hander feels good anyway.
The other shot I like a lot is the one that really dives to the net player's feet, just behind the net. I play at intermediate level, so most players can't handle such excessive topspin, so they either choke up on it or give an easy winner away. I love to see that tennis ball taking that very agressive dive!

On returns-When I receive a wide serve to the ad side, and am able to run around it to hit a forehand winner down the line.
On serve- Kick serve out wide to the Ad side and then hit a cross court volley winner or Over head smash!
