I'm going to say the 'current' Soderling, he's just slamming those short balls like nobody else; if Fed wants to win against him, he can't give him any short balls. I certainly don't vote Soderling based on consistency or any time-frame; I don't recall his performance being like this outside of FO09, so I say this only on very recent performance, we'll see how long it lasts.

Blake has such beautiful motion on his forehand. Gonzo and blake tied for power. Gonzo more accurate, Blake nicer looking.

This is a dumb poll as it implies biggest and best are one and the same which clearly isnt the case. I cant even vote as I dont know if I am supposed to vote for the best forehand or the biggest forehand, and my answer is not the same for each. Already early proof how overrated Blake is on this forum only a couple posts in though.

Best: Federer or Nadal
Biggest consistently: Federer or Gonzalez
Since he could be picked for either I voted Federer.

This is blury question. Biggest and best are not the same, that is one thing. Another is that everyone has something characteristic which makes their forehands more or less dangerous depending on the surface, conditions, balls etc. Example, Rafa's FH is by far the best when surface is catching spin and balls are jumping high. But he does not like Penn balls and of course any blistering fast low bouncing surface does not suit him - thus some flat monster forehand is better than his in those conditions.
