I dunno why, but everytime i think of a player, i see him pulling some shot.

Lleyton Hewitt- Backhand
Andre Agassi- Backhand
Juan Carlos Ferrero- Forehand
Roger Federer- Backhand
Carlos Moya- Serve
Andy Roddick- Serve (Duh!)
Marat Safin- Backhand
Albert Costa- Serve (i actually have the same service motion as his... Might explain it)
David Nalbandian- Nothing. I never think of him
Jiri Novak- Forehand

Those are just the top ten.

 

[Sjengster]

Radek Stepanek - dropshots. Incessantly.

 

[Nimi]

Too many! I hope that he will pull a dropshot that will land on his foot.

 

[Riley Finn]

when I think of Roddick I get a vision of his pathetic return

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

Moya-Serve
its good but not that good
its his FH thats his trademark as well as his amazing half-volley pickups

 

[Nacho]

Andy: serve
Juan Carlos: forehand
Mark: serve
Carlos: forehand & serve
Pete: serve & volley

Alex: backhand
Feliciano: serve
Arthurs: serve

Too many big servers

 

[Nimi]

I didn't ask what is each player's best shot, i asked which shot comes to mind when you think of a certain player. There is a difference.

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

I still think of Moya's FH, thats the shot that comes to mind.

Kafelnikov: BH DTL
Potato: doing the splits

 

[Chloe le Bopper]

Goran & Mario: serve

After his match with Ferrero in Australia, all I can think of when it comes to Mario is that terrible second serve percentage.

If memory serves he only managed to win 8% - 2 for 25 - of his second serve points.

8%?!

Does that set a new precedent for awful?

I'm aware that he is not usually that terrible, and was just having either an off day, or an overwhelmed day. But that doesn't remove that number from my head. ACK!

[Gonzo Hates Me!]

Guga: untouchable cross-court backhand If his head is in it

 

[Sjengster]

Some less complementary trademark shots:

Alex Corretja - wildly topspun mishits that soar out of court, forehand and backhand, usually accompanied by an amusing "Noooo!" from the man himself.

Nicolas Lapentti - further wildly mishit shots, but this time out of nervousness and indecision, that zip off the frame and into the sky (am thinking of the mishit gift he gave Agassi on match point in Miami last year)

Roger Federer - sadly, an often-shanked topspin backhand that he often loops in far too short or else frames: in his quarterfinal against Hewitt in TMS Paris, practically every backhand he hit sounded odd off the racquet, and it was rather appropriate that he ended the match by dumping one limply in the net.

 

[babydoll]

Lleyton: Is running Ability, forehand.
Andre- Backhand

[Riley Finn]

whenever Heewee's name is discussed,I can't help but envision him sitting on his throne and lacking toilet paper

 

[Sjengster]

Quite funny you should say that, considering the prominent billboard of him advertising that exact same product on a wall in Melbourne during the AO last week. People seem to be offering him rolls of the stuff while he stands there with a stupified grin on his face.

On Eurosport, the highlights programme showed Roddick being taught how to drive a Melbourne tram, and strangely enough avoiding running over anyone on the way, and then gave him what must be his one and only chance to mock Hewitt: he stood in front of the wall with his fellow passengers, presumably Aussies, and commented drily: "That's a lot of toilet paper."

 

[Dina]

Sampras-serve,running forehand
Agassi-return
Safin-Backhand
Moya-Forehand
Heeweee-all his sots are average
Dick-serve
Ferrero-Forehand
J-Forehand

 

[Minimum_Chips]

Hrbaty - Unorthodox backswing on forehand

These aren't shots ...
Sjeng - Pyjama shorts
Novak - Rosy cheeks

 

[Sjengster]

"Pyjama shorts"? - I think you'll find these loose-hanging garments simply emphasise the firm, athletic muscular frame of the Sjengster, making him a figure of lust for yet more screaming teen groupies as they swoon when he says hello.

Agree about the rosy-cheeked Novak, though - ruddy (faced) Jiri always looks like he should be hosting a medieval banquet, he certainly has the stature and nobility to pull it off.

 

[lizabeth..*]

LMAO!!!

That add has ruined it for him!! I swear....If I EVER had any respect for him...which I don't think I did, it's been flushed down the loo I guess you could say.....

Safin: Serve / backhand (down the line...LOVE that shot)
Ferrero: Forehand
Roddick: Serve
Ancic: serve (first, lol)
Blake: Forehand
