ATP stars build the ultimate tennis player

Every player has a best stroke or shot that they are best known for. John Isner has his serve, Novak Djokovic has his return, and Roger Federer has his backhand—and forehand. But what if someone took the greatest shots from the top players and made one perfect tennis machine?

The stars on the ATP Tour were tasked with just that, choosing who had the best shots to see what an unbeatable tennis player would look like. Rafael Nadal, Kevin Anderson and Marin Cilic all chose to steal Federer's forehand. Dominic Thiem switched things up by choosing Kyle Edmund's forehand.

In the end, the majority of stars decided the perfect player would have the backhand and return of Djokovic, the serve of John Isner, the movement of Gael Monfils, the volley of Federer, and the fighting spirit of Nadal.
