isners backhand is greatest of all time

[bullslayer]

severly underrated pro player john isners backhand is terribly underrated. he can hit winners everywhere with that shot not something all players can do. With his serve and fantastic backhand he really could have been a threat for goat status too bad his forehand lets him down. Also his movement is not good enough to eject him to the top

too bad he has no serve

 

[FEDEXP]

It may be underrated but Isner is too new on the scene to make the leap to state that he has the greatest backhand of all time. Silly really....

Bullslayer....hate on Rafa is good, but calling Isner backhand the greatest is riduculous

 

[ktid]

wow!...just...wow!

isner has been a top player for a long time. his backhand has proven itself

 

[bullslayer]

Isner the latest American in a growing list who just doesn't have the all round game to get the USA anywhere near the top of the rankings again.

I miss Blake, brutal hitting as plan A, B AND C!

isners bh is better than blakes. blake is just known for beating feddo in the olympics... something everyone can do see delpotro today... another journeyman almost beating feddo

Isner isn't even close to the player Blake was. I like Isner, but if he played a prime Blake, James would win 9 times out of 10.

not because of blakes backhand. isner wins that battle but lose the war

Blakes BH is better than Isners. Did you see his first round at Wimbledon this year? Any time he wasn't simply pushing his BH back into the court he was missing by 5+ feet.

I'll take this over Isners every time.

 

[bullslayer]

ludicrous you havent even seen isners bh

I assure you I've seen Isner play more than you if you're delusional enough to believe that he has the greatest bh of all time.

 

[fuzzyball]

******** !

 

[DolgoSantoro]

This must be why he beat Novak at Indian Wells. Isner's backhand was just too good and Novak's broke down completely under its pressure

It's ludicrous that amateur armchair experts try to denigrate top 10 players' shots really. Judging from TV and looking at it courtside are two different things.

Exactly. There are other people than feddo and nadal who can produce good shots despite 99% of this board being about feddo and nadal

 

[Carsomyr]

But can he hit the 110 mph slice?

if feddo had isners bh he would have won gold today.

 

[Evan77]

not sure if the OP is serious, but I can probably name 20 players who have better FH than Isner.

im talking backhand not fh. and yes fh is one of isners weak points sadly

 

[rainingaces]

Then why is it all the players he plays go to his bh like 80% of the time and he cant wait for a opportunity to run around his bh?

 

[jelle v]

No.. Nalbandian has the best backhand of all time..

Where was I denigrating it? I was simply saying that you're crazy if you thinks it's the best of all time. Gasquet, Wawrinka, Federer, Almagro, Murray, Nalbandian, Safin, Federer, Haas, Kholschriber, Tsonga, Nadal, and Djokovic are just some of the pros with better bh's than Isner.

i hope nalby as greatest bh is a joke... most people underestimate isners bh because they see his serve and think he has no groundstrokes. bh winners is second to his aces but that is because you serve before you hit the backhand and peoples return game suck.

 

[bullslayer]

isners bh will win him ao!!!

 

[Doubles]

He won't make it past the quarters.

You keep getting funnier and funnier.

 

[matchmaker]

why do people keep on feeding the troll?

 

[ShoeShiner]

Really, scarcely watch his matches.
I never observed his BH before. I will find some vids to watch and analyse.

are you finished yet? close sources to isners camp telling my he is sharpening his BH and looking to WIN the french open! He will dominate his opponents with crushing backhand groundstrokes and many aces from his superior serve.
