Single Handed Backhand

The single handed backhand is a thing of beauty. Currently the players with the best single handled backhands have to be Richard Gasquet and Stan Wawrinka. Gasquet's is more stylish but Stan's has more power. However, Justine Henin in my opinion had one the best single handed backhands that I have seen. She would just win points from near impossible positions with that weapon. And its also interesting to note that Federer when growing up could just play the slice with the one handed backhand and could never go over it. Considering that, he has developed it into a pretty decent shot himself although its less consistent than those of the players mentioned above.
