Your favourite shots of players

[Livedeath]

Being a fan of many players I have a liking for many different shots players can execute, I have listed few of my favourite shots from their arsenal.

Djokovic: BHDTL, sliding backhand on the stretch, crosscourt BH with sharp angle, ROS
Nadal: FHDTL especially the running one, backhand passes
Federer: Backhand slice, inside out forehand, block return it is not sexy to look but has teeth, dropshot return
Murray: Cross court backhand when hit with power, running cross court forehand, second serve return
Delpotro: Running forehand (crosscourt and DTL)
Berdych: Forehand crosscourt (easy power)
Tsonga: Serve (power), backhand drop volley
Wawrinka: BHDTL and cross court backhand when hit with power, Serve down the middle...boom
Gulbis: 1st Serve...boom
Isner and Dr Ivo: 1st Serves...boom
Nishikori: Cross court backhand
Gasquet: BHDTL
Raonic: 1st serve. He has hit 2nd serves at 140 mph

[Rubens]

Lopez's serve and Kyrgios' forehand.

 

[Krish872007]

RAFA: Forehand DTL























Federer: Inside-out FH//Djokovic: 2HBH CC and DTL

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Djokovic: backhand down the line diamonds and returns of serve barely landing on the baseline
Nadal: forehand down the line bombs
Federer: drop shot and drop volley beauties

 

[xFedal]

A better question will be who has the most versatile FH, we know Nole has the most versatile BH, but what about FH?

 

[PDJ]

The Evert lob. And, to a lesser extent, her dropshot. But mostly her court sense.

 

[InsideOut900]

Djokovic: BHDTL, sliding backhand, crosscourt BH with sharp angle, ROS

I would add running FH cross court for Djokovic.It was perfect timing and is damn spectacular.
Kyrgios has a very nice motion and power in his FH too

[Capulin Zurdo]

All good ones aforementioned; I like Nadal's backhand.

 

[metsman]

federer forehand DTL, inside in, inside out, droppers, BH slice, BH half volleys/flicks, rafa CC forehand, passing shots, and his DTL forehand when the ball is seemingly behind him(standstill, his DTL forehand is not better than Fed's but he is better at this hooking it in for a winner), Djoker backhand, return, Safin Backhand, Murray ROS, backhand, volleys.

 

[jm1980]

Djokovic: BH DTL or sharp CC. Bonus if on the stretch.
Murray: BH ROS
Nadal: FH DTL specially on the run. Bonus if banana.
Federer: Inside-out and inside-in FHs
Wawrinka: BH DTL
Del Potro: "Kill" FHs; very different from his rally FHs
Dolgopolov: Dropshot
Tomic: Slice FH

 

[gn]

Djoker: BH DTL
Fedr: IO FH
Rafa's banana
Wawa's DTL
Gasquet's BH CC
Dog's serve
Nishi's return
Kyrgios FH

Bonus: Murray's running forward to retrieve the drop shot.

 

[MasterZeb]

Federer forehand (DTL and inside in and out specifically, but whole shot is awesome), bh flicks, net finesse and slice
Nadal banana shots (forehand as a whole is just a joy to watch)
Djoker cross court passing shots- amazing how consistently he can pull of this shot and succeed
Wawrinka Backhand -no explanation needed
Murray running forehand and backhand
Tsonga serve
Safin backhand DTL
Berdych forehand

 

[haqq777]

My favorite are Rafa's inside out DTL and CC both, from the deuce court. When's he's on, he's on. His running hit banana's are beautiful too.

Djokovic's CC BH is extremely good. And FH CC too - sometimes forehand DTL. And recently BH DTL (well yes, you get the picture, he's been that good overall).

Fed will laways have the magnificeint forehand. Although it doesnt seem very wristy, when I saw him hit in practice as a member in the crowd, I was in awe of how much wrist he was using. Beautiful, like a ballerina. Immaculate footwork too.

Wawrinka's backhand is mesmerizingly good. Always leaves the viewer in awe.

From an aesthetic perspective though, the prettiest backhand award, in my books, goes to Dicky Gasquet. That high back swing looks fantastic!

Murray's second serve. KIDDING! I think I like Murray's overall defensive counter-punching. No particular shot I like that leaves a huge impression on me though

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic - BH DTL or CC, Forehand inside out
Nadal - Running FH DTL
Federer - FH DTL
Murray - BH or FH lob
Wawrinka - BH DTL or CC

Rafa's banana shot / fhdtl + running forehand + backhand cross court
Federer's forehand + backhand's + serve returns/ everything else really
Djokovic's stretched out shots + backhand
Murray's backhand and returns
Wawrinka's backhand dtl
del Potro's forehand
Nieminen's on the run backhand dtl
Tsonga's serve
Isner's serve
Karlovic's serve

 

[nolefam_2024]

Nadal forehand pass. Then Nadal backhand pass. Then Federer backhand smash and running back smash.

 

[metsman]

Peak Fed flying inside out forehand, the most beautiful shot in the sport to me.

 

[Livedeath]

I would add running FH cross court for Djokovic.It was perfect timing and is damn spectacular.
Kyrgios has a very nice motion and power in his FH too

http://giphy.com/gifs/3o6UBamPxZ4egOp4NW

Yeah he has got good running forehand even on stretch

 

[Livedeath]

Peak Fed flying inside out forehand, the most beautiful shot in the sport to me.

One of the most stylish shots.

 

[TheMaestro1990]

Federer's inside out forehand and flick backhand. Also the slice when he really cuts right through it.

 

[InsideOut900]

Yeah he has got good running forehand even on stretch

[6august]

Volandri's serve - Santoro's FH - Roddick's BH - Djokovic's slice...

 

[123456789]

All good ones aforementioned; I like Nadal's backhand.

I'm a Rafa fan but I think his backhand is odd. He muscles it and hits it with both straight arms off the back foot.

 

[Paul Murphy]

Lleyton's lob.
Stan's BH.
Fed's inside-out FH.
Verdasco FH (when it's on).

Retirees:

Great list.
Very comprehensive.

 

[Livedeath]

The sliding backhand winners of jokers are simply awesome , perhaps video should had included the one from 'War in Madrid'

 

[Livedeath]

Murray - Second Serves

Djokovic's slice

I reckon you two are the unique case of posters where they have liked shots of players which are criticized heavily in TTW.

Because they're funny and entertaining.
