HAHAHAHAHA!

Nadal might have the best reoahand on the WTA.

He sure as hell doesn't have the best foerehand on the ATP.

Serena Williams was the hardest hitter ever on the WTA circuit. She is no longer, however she used to be, you hear Jmac saying it all the time. She used to absolutely crush the ball, even bigger than alot of ATP pros.

Clijsters' forehand, when it's on is the best shot on the WTA tour at this point in time, better than Serena Williams' forehand. Though given how she can be patchy and inconsistent with it, you'd have to give the nod to Graf, who built a legendary career out of her forehand.

it may be harder but its not as big. she hits very flat thats y her unforced errors are high. men hit it hard and with alot of spin. also graf had the best forehand nobodys was more effective.

I voted for Graf but Seles' forehand wasn't as far behind as the poll would indicate. Seles got a lot more angle on the shot, equal power, and had a better on-two punch in the fore and backhand. The rest of the women on the list don't really compare to either of them.

Anyone who has seen Steffi Graf hit the forehand should agree, love her or hate her, that forehand was something else. It would be a dangerous shot today, if she has enough time to hit it.

Stroke wise and what she could with it, no contest IMO.

Hard to see how other has 5 votes. Not sure who else should be included, Pierce or Capriati had great forehands but the best ever? Douglas Chambers and Mallorey had great forehands as well I believe.
 
Capriati should be a candidate, I am not saying she is neccessarily the winner but her name should atleast be there. Nancy Richey a candidate over Capriati, no way!

Chris Evert had a great forehand among female players.
If the question were who had the most consistant Forehand, I could agree with your pick but as Warriorroger stated, I did see Steffi play on 4 seperate occassions and I was blown away at how big that shot was. Granted each time I had Courtside seats which gave me a different perspective.

Lindsay Davenport would get my second vote

You are so lucky! Iw ould trade my Sampras, Rios, Philipini live matches for just one live look at that forehand. With the powerbabes of this generation people tend to forget just how big that forehand was.

I liked everything about Steffi Graf from head to toe. Some people say because of her nose she was unattractive but gotta tell ya, I can't figure out why she's so shy, she's actually a very nice looking lady with great legs oh I mean forehand ;)
