The best 2handed backhands ever :)

[v2174230322]

two of my favorite players on tour

@verdugorobs Don't think so; I might be wrong but I think the racket left his hand when

he hit the ball (and the racket has to be in your hand and not "thrown").

[sarasmilepiano]

@Ryan81M Put simply, Marat is a bigger, stronger version of David.

[verdugorobs]

3:20, does safin get the point for that? or not because of his racquet touching the net?

[tomyrosicky]

These 2 players could have given a lot of competion to Federer between 2004 and 2007 for the N°1 but they both lacked the profesionalism and determination Roger had.

@cj397 very true but he ran alot around his backhand, but ya i still agree with you

[cj397]

@Sen1Sky agassi's backhand was a short stroke meant to take the ball early only. short, compact swing meant to absorb pace of the ball and redirect.. it wasnt a thing of beauty but it made him hundreds of millions

[Sen1Sky]

@tennisboi that's just one magazine, im sure if atp made a list safin would be near the top

[tennisboi]

@Sen1Sky and now i hope you are joking- no even Tennis magazine ranked his bh as the best of the open era! but you must know more than them... safin was not mentioned once in the article, not even for his style- shock. (oh btw they asked the top tennis pros and retired players and commentators their opinion and then compiled the results)... sen1sky- the phrase 'eat it' is in order.

[karelduin]

@Sen1Sky Yeah he rarely gives a Safin opponent credit.

@tennisboi i hope that was a joke, not to mention Agassi's backhand is the ugliest backhand of life.Safin had both substance and style.
