Roger Federer has snubbed Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal by naming Kei Nishikori as having the best backhand in tennis, according to Eurosport pundit Pat Cash, who told an interesting tale about when his friend asked Federer who had the strongest backhand.
“A good friend of mine asked Roger Federer who has the best backhand in the game – is it, Novak? Or Nadal?” Cash told Eurosport.
“And he said Nishikori. I am looking forward to this one. They are two of the speed kings around the court – they are so fast. They are very consistent and have had a great history together as well. The question for me is that one seems to be reasonably fresh and the other is running on fumes. Nishikori just keeps going – he’s incredible”
