Forehand and backhand I would have to say blake just because he hits bullets everytime :lol:, especially when you watch it in person.

Overall if you include the serve that is tough. I guess I would have to say tsonga if you average it out overall. Gulbis is nice but his forehand sucks. You could also throw berdych and delpo but dont like delpos serve.

Kim clisters? She well rounded. Maybe David Ferrer but I'd say his serve lets him down.

I think the point of the thread was missed a bit.

I was referring to a TOTAL COMBINED POWER OUTPUT:


Serve + Forehand + Backhand = Total power.
Level 13 Edberg and counting...

I've measured every shot that every tennis player has ever played, and the results show the winner to be 1988 Australian Open Men's Doubles runner-up Jeremy Bates. Who'd have thunk it?

:lol: I know how it sounds... I was looking for opinions mostly, based on personal perspective, rather then some mathematical formulas.

Jeremy Bates it is then :lol:

I'd give Delpotro the nod. Not an easy question.

Berdych, Del Potro, Soderling, Safin and Rosol come to mind. :P

Soderling and Berdych for sure!!! Watched their 2010 RG semi in the court and believe me, it was hard to see the ball...

rewatched the USO 2009 final and some of Delpo's forehand winners must've been close to 120 mph. His forehand motion is also interesting, it's like he's about to slice the ball, only to hammer it past the other guy.

Fastest forehands from certain players

Blake: 125 mph (return, all time record)
Murray: 124 mph (half court)
Monfils: 120 mph (baseline)
Gonzalez: 117 mph (baseline)
Nadal: 110 mph (baseline)
Federer: 105 mph (return)


Also Nalby once hit a 110 mph backhand way back.
