Gulbis forehand takes the gold
Yeah, the flaphand is atrocious.
Berlocq also has pretty ugly strokes too IMO.
IMO Wawrinka's backhand is aesthetically an abomination.
Bouchard .
I think it's time to step away from the keyboard for a second and take a deep breath.
On topic: Gulbis and Tomic. Gulbis for obvious reasons. His technique is outrageous. Tomic has developed this weird flat bunting style on his forehand. Very strange.

Federer is on one side of the spectrum, who is on the opposite side?:shock:
**from currently active players ATP&WTA
Says who ? Why is that considered as truth or the rule, why we all must agree that Federer has the most beautiful game and the most beautiful shots ?
I see him like very young Novak saw him https://youtu.be/MlNk4qbNKKk?t=182
As smug character and at the same time - comical in his smugness.

I see we have a dulltard in the thread.
Wait, are you talking about Novak?

I don't care about his looks, appearance, or care about Mirka. Some players play the same shots as he does, with difference that everybody (Federer also) give it their own posture or signature. Why is so difficult for you to understand Federer's game is not my cup of tea ?you can hate his character, his looks, appearance, etc... you can also find mirka repulsive.... but when it comes to technical aspect and aesthetics of his shots - allow yourself to state the obvious.
No love for Murray FH and Murray second serve ?
Errani serve is obvious. Nicolescu and Radwanska are very artistic.
Rafa's moonball with top spin is cringeworthy, but gets the 14 majors

-Gulbis FH is in league of his own
-Feliciano Lopez FH is such ugly shot
- Nadals BH is underrated here in terms of pure uglyness.
Honorable mentions
- Cilic serve motion is also ugly, although he improved his serve as shot itself.
- Milos's BH is unwatchable most of the time.
- Novak used to have ugly slice, but improved a lot that shot in both aestheticness and effectiveness terms.
PS, yes Murray 2 serve , weak and ugly at the same time
Nor his mine, but people here interpreted as hatred towards him.I don't care about his looks, appearance, or care about Mirka.

It looks much better than in the past.Djokovic's slice is still one of the more forced and awkward slices on tour in terms of aesthetics. It looks pretty damn strange.

-Feliciano Lopez FH is such ugly shot How? Just looks a bit oldschool to me, pretty cool actually
- Nadals BH is underrated here in terms of pure uglyness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cdQLPbxcpk I guess I see why one would think that. But personally I like his backhand a lot, in terms of aesthetics. Like how he turns his left shoulder foreward and then throws his entire body into the shot. Looks really powerful.
Honorable mentions
- Cilic serve motion is also ugly, although he improved his serve as shot itself.
- Milos's BH is unwatchable most of the time. Oh god I hate Milos' shots, especially the backhand indeed. Totally agree here.
- Novak used to have ugly slice, but improved a lot that shot in both aestheticness and effectiveness terms. Yeah looks a little awkward indeed. But for some reason I like his awkward unbalanced shots. Reminds me of the Drunken master Shanghai exhibition. And it fits his bendy, flexible image.

LOL I also like that awkward Novaks slice , but I'm fan of his, so it's unforgiveable here to say anything positive about him.On similar way I really like whole Florian 's wicked game.10characters
Well it must be hate. That's why we have just one genre in art (music, painting, sculpting, writing).Nor his mine, but people here interpreted as hatred towards him.
LOL that countless BH shanks
Haha that video is even funnier looking back at it now. To see the -now all grown up- Novak Djokovic kid around like that and make fun of his future rival. Nobody knew back then that that comical brat would stand in Fedal's way like he's done the last couple of years.
the ugliness of his shots is unparalleled.Nadal forehand
Nadal backhand
Here comes an unpopular opinion!
I do not like the aesthetics of Richard Gasquet's strokes. We already know about the forehand but the backhand looks WAY too exuberant and over the top for what it really is.
