When it's on - big first serve. Also love the aggressive forehand on the rise inside the baseline, lob off the backhand side and the angled volley and drop shots are special.
I enjoy the challenge of taking on different players with all sorts of styles, I do like a match with points being decided at the net though.
hyper forehand(forehand that is high and on the middle of the court) at the backhand side of my opponent and a slice bkachand lob especialy when the shot is almost a point for the other..
Drop shot approach shot. You make it look like you are gong to slice it deep and open up the racket face at the last second. Also, When you have an easy forehand at the service line, set up like you are going to hit a huge forehand, and at the last second open, up the racket face and drop it. It usually doesn't even have to be a good dropshot because they are so far behind the line because they think you are going to hit a deep forehand.
The exact opposite of this works too. If you're drop-shotting quite a lot during the match the opponent will start to spot the open racquet face, chip it deep and you're almost guaranteed a weak response as they half volley it from the baseline for an easy put-away
My first serve is my favourite shot. Usually when it's on, it sets up a pretty easy volley.
Other fave shots include BH volley, BH slice, and CC topspin forehand, especially hit a bit on the rise and with a nice angle --> creates a bit of a hurry for the opponent.
I also enjoy defending, I'm pretty fast and good with my hands so I can make life miserable for those who try to be aggressive...
When an opponent hits an unbelievable angle, you run it down and just when they expect you to go down the line you hit an even more unbelievable angle for a clean winner.
Man, love that shot. I seem to be to lazy on the footwork most of the time to get outside the ball. Any slight miss hit on that one and I'm wide open for the DTL. Wish I could hit it better.
But the best one, umm, forehand down the line and backhand crosscourt.
