Stefan Edberg

Stefan Edberg's backhand was built for attack. A side-on stance, a high finish and a slight slice let him approach the net behind it and then volley with the same smooth action. On grass and the fast courts of the 1980s and early 1990s it brought six Grand Slam singles titles, including two Wimbledons and two US Opens. His backhand volley is as admired as the groundstroke.
