The most beautiful shot in tennis

[Hs0022]

The one handed backhand.

Here is a great article listing the players that have this awesome arsenal.

Roger Federer Leads The Way, But Dominic Thiem, Stefanos Tsitsipas Will Carry On The One-Handed Backhand | ATP Tour | Tennis

My list of the best:

1. Tommy Haas
2. Guga Kuerten
3. Richard Gasquet
4. Boris Becker
5. Roger Federer

Honorable mention
1. Stan Wawrinka
2. Nicolas Almagro
3. Gaston Gaudio
4. Stefan Edberg

I was thinking the same thing watching the Wawrinka - Tsitsipas match. Just to be different, I'd add Justine Henin's name to your list.

Also, going back a bit further Thierry Champion.

Justin Henin’s backhand looks the most efficient and the form is probably the best among both men and women’s.

I was only listing the men players but anyone in their right minds would kill to have a backhand like Henin’s!!

She has the whip and my favorite is the cross court winner wrong footing the opponent for a passing shot when the opponent is at the net.

Justin's backhand was incredible.

She has the perfect grip! I like the three o’clock position for the index finger knuckle

I can't for the life of me hit a 2 handed backhand anyway.

Too old a dog to learn new tricks.

But I agree, Rog's backhand is sweet.

Always liked Haas. Wish he could have stayed healthy.
