The better forehand or backhand thread

[Clay lover]

So basically this thread is just like one of those forum games where a poster asks a question and the poster below answers that question and gives another question himself and it goes on and on. I want to make this more interesting by letting you decide whether a pro has a better forehand or backhand and ask the same question about another pro which comes to your mind. I hope by playing this we can all have a better idea of that pro's strengths and weaknesses (or at least what we think).

So I'll go first: Lleyton Hewitt, better forehand or backhand?

Safin's forehand. Just because his backhand is better than everybody else's doesn't mean that it's better than his own forehand.

Backhand. While his FH is a very good shot (and seriously underrated), his money shot is the backhand.
