You have chosen...poorly.

But the Grail cannot pass the seal.

 

[fgzhu88]

Santoro's got a monopoly on the forehand slice

 

[flyer]

Im going to stick to current players because there are too many factors when you compare eras to be definitive,

Forehand-Federer
Backhand(2H)-Djokovic
Backhand(1H)-Gasquet
Slice Backhand-Federer
Slice Forehand-Santoro
Forehand Volley-
Backhand Volley-Llodra
First Serve-Karlovic
Second Serve-Karlovic
Forehand Dropshot-Murray
Backhand Dropshot-Murray
Overhead-Roddick
Topspin Lob Forehand-
Topspin Lob Backhand-
Slice Lob Backhand-Santoro
Forehand Return-Ferrer
Backhand Return(2H)-Ferrer
Backhand Return (1H)-Ferrer

The shots I left blank are because I do not think we see anybody use them enough to definitively say they are the best at it

 

[Charlie_Boy]

Murray has a crap drop shot.

Murray - "Hai everyone, let me attempt a shot 10 times and pull it off nicely maybe twice"

Murray has a crap drop shot.

Murray - "Hai everyone, let me attempt a shot 10 times and pull it off nicely maybe twice"

Not really my man, he gets burned sometimes against really good players, but its the most consistent and effective on tour and he wins a high percentage of them even against top players (even higher against slightly lower ranked players)
