I have had a long-standing argument with a friend of mine over who has got the best forehand, Nadal or Federer. I say Federer's has the edge, it's such a probing shot, the way he pulls opponents around the court with it is fascinating, and in the midcourt he's simply devasting.
My friend likens Nadal's forehand to Borg's in that it is so consisitent. I'd agree with that, but Federer hits more winners. Nadal's forehand can also be a weakness on those days when he is not finding a length, like at the French Open against Soderling.
I open this argument to tennisplayer members to be laid to rest. Who do think has the best forehand, Nadal or Federer?
