connors is #1 IMO. Connors had the most versatile two hander I ever saw. Of course his flat one is what people will write about in history books, It was hard, deep and rarely errant a perfect offensive shot vs either S/V or baseliners. In addition he could impart moderate top for a rallying shot, underspin or sidespin. He could loop it for a lob and in later years he learned to take off pace and caress it softly with top for severe dipping angle. the only thing he never mastered was a great dropshot on the wing. He lost more points than he won trying that.
