7 attributes that could create the ultimate tennis player

5. Passing Shots (Rafael Nadal)

Rafael Nadal

Very few players, not even Roger Federer, come to the net frequently when they are playing against Nadal. The Spaniard's forehand passing shots, almost always containing a lot of deadly top spin, usually find their way past his opponent. His triumph against Federer in the 2008 Wimbledon final was testimony to that.

Nadal's vicious forehand top-spin makes his passing shots incomparable. His double-handed backhand passing shots are awesome, too. Agassi also had great passing shots but Nadal’s are better in terms of clinical accuracy and potency. Moreover, Agassi needed more time to play his shots whereas Nadal can hit them instantly.
