Had a interesting conversation with a friend the other day and we started talking about which two-handed backhander had the best single-handed backhand slice. I always remember Mats Wilander perfecting that shot and driving Ivan Lendl crazy with it back in the 80s. Who has the best slice shot now?

Federer has the best slice, although Murray isn't far behind. I would say the two-handed backhand belongs to Djokovic, although a year or two ago Murray would be in serious contention.

I think Murray's change over to a one-handed slice is the best of the bunch. Novak and Nadal have both improved theirs, but Andy's seems to be more biting.

I agree. Andy's slice is the most potent for the two-handers.
