i think Johansson returns great,
which is one of the reason he got AO,
though mostly by luck, but still.......

 

[Nimi]

Alex Corretja has some great returns.
Also Ferrero & Gonzalez (see their match as Basel this year)

 

[Pea]

Novak is actually a solid returner.

But if you are talking about flashy returners you got Grosjean, Kuerten, and Gonzalez.

It seems like all "clay courtes" have great returns.

 

[madten]

Andre is known as a best returner....... it's strange not to mention him here...

 

[jrm]

back when he was good kucera was one of the best returners but i guess more off just returning rather than doing something with it

thx....looking at this,
Lleyton is superior than Agassi in all of the areas........

 

[drf716]

i saw one brilliant return from Yevgeny K.
it was a drop shot return...wasn't at all coincidental...really true brilliance.!

 

[Minimum_Chips]

Jerome Golmard returned phnomenally at the AO this year againist Ivanisevic, (whose serve is actually quite good). Ivan was left standing. That probably was the best exhibiton of returns i've seen, although he lacks consistentsy.

 

[maratski]

Marat has a good return, after Andre and pig
