We can rank forehands ,backhands, etc. But there is something that often goes unnoticed with some of the top guys and especially the ones that can do it consistently.
There is the "heart and spirit" factor, no not that hippy shit. Im talking about throwing it all out on the court, whenever you can.
The big four are notorious for doing this and that may be why they have racked so many slams. We have flashes in the pan moments with some players like Verdasco AO Open 2009 and Berdych in a few instances. But the majority of the time these guys dont bring out the same flare and spirit that the Big Four do. Another guy who Id like to put up there is Del Potro.
The guy will give it eveything even if his wrist is about to snap. He treats 250 s like they are Grand Slams and will fight to the bitter end 8/10 times.
I feel it would be hard to categorize Nishikori in this category and or a guy like Dimitrov.
With that said help me rank the heart and spirit top 10 for this past decade. Federer era onward.
Im curious where you think Del Potro ranks. Is it obvious he is above a guy like Ferrer, Tsonga?
Give me your thoughts.
