Single greatest shot in men's tennis history

[Start da Game]

How long have you been watching tennis? Just wondering.

nadal's forehand is great on its own terms......nobody takes control of the point better than nadal once he gets a ball on the forehand......fed does it greatly himself but he can be pushed out wide and exposed......

nadal can do everything that fed can do, but not vice versa. not as much power and spin. feds is absolutely number 2, but not better than nadal.

Yea but Ralph has to hit 5 FHs to win the point, Fed only 1/2. :lol:

I actually want to add that I seriously think Del Potro's running forehand is one of the greatest shots of all time. There were 2 he hit again Federer at the USO 09 and at Wimbledon against Djoker this year that were faster than a lot of the pros' first serves.

Biased poll. Why is Djokovic's THBH listed under "others". Also where is Djokovic's return?

The poll is not biased, there is a limited number of poll options and there is an option for Djokovic's backhand and return listed under the "other" option (which few people chose). I was one of the people who chose other, but I did not have Djokovic's backhand or return in mind, so that leaves at most 7 who think those shots are the best of all time.

past greats' votes can easily be doubled and counted because most of their fans are not on message boards......

it is definitely a good shot but agassi's return on surfaces three times faster than the fastest surface today must have been better in many people's views......agassi was known for mad reflexes......

and there is always "other" option to vote, like steve said.....

Haha....

Oh, you were serious?

Nadal can do everything fed can do? Who has the better first serve? Who had the better second serve? How many aces does Nadal hit per season? BTW, according to Rafael Nadal, Federer is the greatest player of all time, followed by Rod Laver! Just sayin...

How can McEnroe`s forehand volley have no votes. I can see it not winning the poll, but no votes. Seriously people.

i was talking about the forehand....
and nadal will have a better career in the end. it doesn't matter how many aces you hit, if you can beat someone without hitting a single ace, doesn't that say something about you? there second serves are equal. federer cant attack nadals second serve.
