Top 10 Tennis Players With the Best Forehand

You won't be difficult to find a player with depth, pace groundstroke in any era but Rafa's one is something really really special. He hits it with so much spin and high accuracy. Rafa could make magic with that kind of shot. His "banana" down the line forehand is unique. No one can ever hit it so many times like Rafa.
The King of clay Rafa is. But in my mind, Rafa is the King of Tennis. No one could have such an amazing career like him, not to mention that he has countless time spending in the hospital treating his injuries.

Vamos Rafa!

Rafa generates about 3400rpm topspin on his forehand on a normal day. Other player average 1500rpm tops. Imagine how much the opponent has to flip his racquet while returning. Play it with a flat racquet and you'll find the ball land at your feet.

With little more depth, Nadal's forehand would be unplayble. The extra depth also means a few more errors, but the result would be overwhelmingly positive in my opinion. The added depth would save his body and possibly prolong his career.

Very affective forehand. So much accuracy and yet so much power and topspin. The ball lands in (most of the times) and it 's the basic reason he 's the king of clay.

The amount of topspin is not the only factor nor a decisive one to determine who has the best forehand, and even if it was, yes Nadal would be number 1 but Federer would probably be in the top 3.
Having said that, Federer is top class when it comes to attacking with his forehand (top spin, flat, inside-out, inside-in, down the line, running forehand either cross-court or down the line, drop shot, passing shots, angles, deep, short, drop shot, attacking lobs, volleying, half volley).
And yes he can use it with the same efficiency when defending, from flicks and half volleys to defending lobs. I've seen him using these shots in countless games with extreme accuracy and consistency and if I left a shot behind he can probably do it as well

His forehand is the best ever. He can hit it with topspin greater than 3000 revs and can also flatten out the shot. His inside-out forehand and down-the-line forehand are as accurate as a sniper. His forehand on the run can be devastating, like Juan Martin del Potro, and his rally balls can be as heavy as Nadal's forehand. He can hit his forehand with overspin, underspin, topspin, and sidespin. It is because of this variety in his forehand that he has won 17 Grand Slam titles, unmatched in tennis history... the greatest forehand of all time.

His forehand is the best ever. He can create every rotation with it - not only topspin as Nadal does but also flat shots. He can hit powerful shot as well as do it softly. At his prime he could hit it precisely at the place he wanted, this was just a flawless shot back then.

Federer has the most variety in his forehand and can hit flat to penetrate the court and topspin to keep opponents deep, come on! Has everybody forgotten how federer's forehand was before he got old?

His Fh is underrated because his Bh is so highly rated as the best ever. His Forehand may also be the best ever. Early in his pro career his Fh broke down at times, but that is clearly not the case since 2012 or so.

Greatest forehand in the world!
Nobody can reach his speed.

Monfils's forehand is very solid and fast.

I love his forehand, may if he practice like that in every training and match he can be back in the top five

Roddick's forehand 2003-2005 was one of the biggest weapons on the tour, right behind his serve. However, after he dropped Gilbert as a coach, his forehand became a lot more spinny as he turned into a more all-around player.

Andy Roddick has a hard forehand when it's high in the air, but when it's low, he's good at picking it up. For example, when someone hits a slice, he brushes it up and makes them consistently.

Roddick doesn't have a great forehand when compared to Gonzalez, Tsonga or Delpo. But Roddick has a wimpy forehand which can be really dangerous sometimes.

His inside-out forehand is a fearsome weapon: great angles and power. The only issue here is covering the court he leaves exposed, not producing the stroke itself.
