Top 5 forehands in tennis at present

Tsonga’s forehand has been one of the key reasons why he is one of the more dangerous players on tour at present

#3. Novak Djokovic

Djokovic possesses a very powerful forehand

The Serb is one of the greatest players to have ever played the sport but has not been in the best of form since completing the Career Grand Slam; he was knocked out in the third round at Wimbledon and most recently endured his worst Grand Slam performance since the 2008 Wimbledon by losing in the second round of the Australian Open.

However, given the Serb’s strong mentality, he is bound to come back strong in the remainder of the hardcourt season.

Known for his aggressive baseline play, Djokovic's forehand hasn’t been given enough recognition compared to his backhand and groundstrokes. However, it has been one his most reliable shots which has helped him register victories, especially in crunch situations.

One of Djokovic’s biggest attributes is his return of serve, and his forehand return makes him a very versatile player on the court. He can win points by going on the offensive with his hooked crosscourt forehand, and can also establish himself as a brilliant defender at the same time. His down-the-line forehand is perhaps the best in the world right now, and it's no surprise that he has won so many Majors this decade.
