A player in between Djokovic and Wawrinka?

[zill]

Who is a player with stokes and a game from both Djokovic and Wawrinka? Can be single or double handed backhand players. So basically an aggressive baseliner who is a better defender, mover and better return of serve than Wawrinka. Or a Djokovic type player but with even heavier and more aggressive groundstrokes.

I think Thiem fits the bill pretty well. Any others?

I am confused. If you take away the OHBH from that player what are you looking for as a reference to Wawrinka: checkered shorts?

Federer fits for me at least modern version of Fed. Great backhand and shotmaking like Wawrinka plus good return and defensive skills like Djokovic. Plus Wawrinka also has big serve too and is decent at the net.

huge forehand and serve.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

huge forehand and serve.

I am even more confused now.

Basically a player with features from Wawrinka and features from Djokovic. And that’s all. So preferably not too many features from other players.

maybe they have a Wawrinka like serve and forehand.

Tsitsipas - but he needs Stan's patience, power and tactical prowess. Better youtuber, though.

Borg. Nadal.
Of others that are close to it perhaps Safin, since he covers a bit more ground with those long legs than Stanislas(not as much as Djoko, of course). Or fit and in the mood Nalbandian, although he used his groundstrokes for constructing the points more often than for hitting heavy winners. Agassi, who defends better than Wawrinka thanks to his excellent anticipation. Even Davydenko, he hit pretty hard and offensive, despite of his frame.

Think Safin or Agassi are very good examples. Of these Safin more as he also has a semi western forehand grip.

Actually Sinner is probably a good candidate.

Justine Henin

Justine Henin

For the WTA Clijsters even more. Also Serena off course. Peak Capriati perhaps.

Justine Henin

Nice find, yeah she is my favourite female playeress.

 

[zill]

Am beginning to think this candidate between Djokovic and Wawrinka is GOAT candidate.

Djoko's overhead and Wawa's agility?

Safin. He had the bigger serve and superior FH, but Novak does everything else better. Neither could volley.

Safin was an excellent volleyer.

Djoko's overhead and Wawa's agility?

definitely not. Was thinking the opposite actually
