Most topspin on their backhand: Almagro, Gasquet or Wawrinka?

[Ehh]

The three best 1-handed backhands in da buizness. In fact, for sheer topspin production off that wing, perhaps the three best backhands in the game - period. Sure, Djokovic and Murray can return serve and change directions better, but for pure Spanish whipping topspin, I don't think they can compete. I don't think even Nadal's two-hander competes for spin.

Which of them do you think hits the most topspin off the backhand, and why? Racket head speed? Follow through? Grip?

And if you can think of anyone who hits a backhand with more topspin (two or one handed) - post them here.

Stan tends to have a lot of flatness and penetration on his BH. I'd say in terms of topspin, Almugro wins. When he's hitting his spots, it's hard to generate much power off his BH. Gasquet's is arguably the most precise and efficient. But in terms of beauty, power and effectiveness, Stan wins.

I vote for Tsonga's 1hbh.

He should hit that more often - it's bloody brilliant.

Topspin: Gasquet>Almagro=Wawrinka

Gasquet can generate more topspin and racquet headspeed because he has a longer backswing than the two.

imo, Wawrinka has the most efficient and effective backhand.

Dunno about topspin but this bh is worth a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU_E_KM91F0
