I like players who are competitive (don't give up), have offensive games (net or otherwise) and one-handed backhanders (underrated imo).
- Stanlislas Wawrinka: all the above.
- David Goffin: Love his offensive game.
- Nishikori: aggressive player, comes to the net sometimes and has very solid strokes (if a bit flat). Also, a great competitor and strong mentally.
- Kohlschriber: One handed backhander with a lot of potential.
- Almagro: Aggressive, one handed backhander on the cusp of top-ten-dom
- Nikolai Davydenko: (probably doesn't count as he used to be top 5) Playstation is relentless with the angles he creates and really seems to demolish his opponents. especially the pushers.
What other cool one-handed backhand players are there that i should keep track of?
Dimitrov is promising, but i feel he might be too hollywood. Maybe getting knocked around a bit more year by real competitors will bring him to his senses.
I think tomic can develop an interesting style of tennis if he becomes more aggressive and mentally tough. These are big ifs though, so as of now he's still not on the list. also, too hollywood for my tastes.
