Most Elegant Two Hander?

[Golden]

I'm curious. Who do you think has the best looking two handed backhand? I think Djokovic would be my vote, he seems to have a very fluid motion, very compact, and very effortless. And please keep it to current players.

I think Murray is more fluid with his two hander than Djokovic. But, I think Nalbandian is the finest in this regard.

[Gonzalito17]

Marcelo Rios.

[kiki]

Gene Mayer.No doubt about it.I would also mention Mc Millan, the great doubs player.

Gildemeister was solid as a rock but not elegant.Never watched Segura, who may have been the best double handed player ever.

Nalbandian. Baker's is sweet. I actually like Nadal's as well.

[Lavs]

Safin followed by Nalbandian. I would also mention Kafelnikov

[aimr75]

safins and nalbandians, but murray's is pretty smooth too

Disclaimer: A two-handed backhand is a functional, stable and safe tennis shot with many advantages. Elegance is not one of them .

With that out of the way, I would vote for Nalbandian among current players and Miroslav Mecir and Chris Evert among past players.

Djokovic, not so much. And the less said about Nadal, the better. If any aspect of Nadal's game appears elegant to you, then I could also convince you that I am George Clooney.

Nalbandian, Agassi, Safin in no particular order. If I ever wanted to use a double hander I'd look upon their backhands.

Nishikori has the best 2-hander in the game.

Very good

The one aspect of Nadal's game that looks effortless to me is how he moves on the red clay of European events.

i like baghdatis' 2HBH.
gulbis' is nice too (where the hell is ernests, by the way ? he didn't play the qualies !).

and among retired players, i'd say rios.

Nice ones, vive le beau jeu!.

I can't believe I forgot this man....Nikolay Davydenko, anyone?

[Doubles]

Safin' got my vote.

[heninfan99]

Nalby by far.

[Candide]

The OP is an oxymoron. No such creature.

[President]

Kafelnikov and Agassi had very clean backhands.

[forzamilan90]

Big fan of how Nalbandian works that two hander. Very effective, but even aesthetically it looks good.

[Cormorant]

There are too many exemplary backhands to name just one, but purely to look at I think Mathieu's is one of the most fluid and easy on the eye. And Borg's had a memorably quirky grace to it, in the way he'd swing with both hands but only use his right for the follow-through.
