Rafa Nadal and Djokovic have been overlooked in the debate over who has the best backhand in tennis (Image: Getty) Andre Agassi reckons he has the best backhand in tennis history, better than both Novak Djokovic 's and Rafael Nadal 's. The American, 54, is widely regarded as one of the finest players to ever hold a racket, with eight Grand Slam titles to his name. He's one of just five male players to have won a career Grand Slam (all four major titles) in the Open Era, and one of just three to have won a career Golden Slam (all four majors plus Olympic gold).
He was also one of the most complete players of all time, with a lethal two-handed backhand that was every bit as effective as his stinging forehand. While building the 'perfect' tennis player using attributes from different players throughout history, Agassi didn't hesitate when asked whose backhand he'd pick. "I'm sticking with mine, because I feel like when my racket is on it [the ball].
.. I always felt like I knew exactly where I was going to hit it," he boasted to US Open Tennis .
