There are many slam winners who prove that you certainly don't have to have every shot in he arsenal to be successful. Which slam winner do you think has the weakest backhand?

I think Nadal and Roddick have the two weakest. Nadal's backhand is not a weapon, mainly he just pushes the ball into court with it and if people attack it then it breaks down easy. Roddick as well had a relatively weak backhand. These are the two that stuck in my mind. I put Del Po in the poll as well because I know some people think he has a weak backhand, though I think it is decent.
 
Roddick and there's no doubt, at least Nadal pull some hard backhands here and there and has a good cross-court BH.
Delpo used to hit very hard from that side, but I think now his BH will be very weak
 
Roddick went to his BH slice all too often. It was his achilles heel, crap approach off the backhand with a 95% chance of getting passed.
 
Don't know how you put Nadal in that list. Sure, his backhand isn't the massive weapon his forehand is, but is by no means weak.

I agree Del Po has a good backhand. But so many times I have heard people call it a weak shot and I like to be objective so I added him in the poll. People better not vote for him though ;)
 
I would have thought Rafa's backhand would be his better shot b/c he's naturally right handed. But yeah he could hit passing shots and angles like no other
 
No Federer in the poll?
It's a scandal, it's an outrage, it's a (how does it go?)
Feds backhand isn't that weak. He just doesn't rely on that shot as often. He can hit it with ease to try and keep the point going but not a weakness unless he's getting pushed around by Rafa.
