[Shaolin]

Federer with a Nalbandian 2 hander.

Nothing on earth could defeat this.

 

[KINGROGER]

Federer with a Nalbandian 2 hander.

Nothing on earth could defeat this.

Or + Wawrinka's OHBH?

 

[Rafa the King]

Roger Federer with Edberg's Volley and Wawrinka's backhand. Maybe Pete's first serve and Rafa's speed in defending too but he did both pretty well in his peak imo

 

[FuzzyYellowBalls41]

-Rafa's curling forehands around the netposts
-Federer's slice backhands
-Agassi returns
-Santoro's crazy 2-handed slice approach shots and/or drop shots
-Borg mental game
-Murray's topspin lob
-Sampras Smash
-Pat Rafter kick serve
-Rafa's movement/defense
-Bryan Bros reflexes and volleys

BAM.

If you're playing on clay or slow hard, maybe

 

[SinjinCooper]

Or + Wawrinka's OHBH?

Fed has owned Wawrinka's OHBH for years.

The only negative thing to be said about Fed's backhand is that it didn't hold up against Nadal's FH on slow surfaces. Wawrinka's has held up even worse. Fed's has been proven to be the better backhand in the only lab that matters.

I'm new. I thought I was being original. But I guess that was naive. Oh, well. It won't hurt anyone to have this thread.

 

[VladimirJ]

Djokovic with Ivo Karlovic's serve would be unbeatable machine.

 

[Freddy Cat]

Serve: Karlovic
Return: Murray
Movement: Monfils
Forehand: DelPo
Backhand: Wawrinka
Passing Shot: Murray
Lob: Murray
Slice: Lopez
Volleys: Llodra
Overhead: Tsonga

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Always changes.

The only answer that doesn't change is having Stefan Edberg backhand. One of the first memories/shots of tennis that I still have a clear picture of in my mind. Kind of like when I think of slice, I think of Steffi Graf.

 

[TMF]

Djokovic with Ivo Karlovic's serve would be unbeatable machine.

Nope. To have a quality serve like Ivo, Nole has to be 6 feet 10 inches tall. At this height his movement and court coverage are his achilles heel.

True but he only needs Federer's tweeners, that's all.

 

[KINGROGER]

Fed has owned Wawrinka's OHBH for years.

The only negative thing to be said about Fed's backhand is that it didn't hold up against Nadal's FH on slow surfaces. Wawrinka's has held up even worse. Fed's has been proven to be the better backhand in the only lab that matters.

Wawrinka's backhand is much better than Fed's at dealing with Nadal - the obstacle in the way of having 5 AO and 5 RG. Fed + Wawrinka's backhand would have 25+ slams.

Done.

Djokovic with Karlovic's serve would still lose to Karlovic LOL. He'd rather have peak Federer returns when facing the giant.
