Here's what I think, using TENNIS Magazine style....

First Serve: Maria Sharapova Disagree- should be Federer for his disguise, power and spin combination....
Second Serve: Andy RoddickDisagree- should be Safin (when at his best) more consistant....
Forehand: Rafeal Nadal and Lindsay Davenport Disagree- should be Federer at the moment because it's so powerful and heavy
Backhand Drive:
One handed - Justine Henin-Hardenne Totablly Agree
Double Handed - Andre Agassi Totablly Agree
One Handed Backhand Slice: Martina Hingis and Roger Federer Disagree- should only Federer- so low
Swinging Volley: Kim Clijsters No sure....
Forehand Volley: Taylor Dent Maybe...Mauresmo's is pretty good too
Backhand Volley: Amelie Mauresmo and Tim Henman Perhaps Federer as well....

These are my opinions:

Men:

First Serve: Ljubicic- He has a very powerful and accurate serve with alot of variety, a very clever and effective serve.
Second Serve: Safin- Very consistant, hardly ever double-faults and has a huge kick. It is nearly as effective as a first serve.
Forehand: Federer- It is his best shot and one of the best of all time. Very powerful and consistant. A thing of beauty.
Backhand Drive:
One handed - Gaudio- Another beautiful shot and never misses. He can hit this backhand very hard for a one-hander. In attack and defense, he can always strike winners.
Double Handed - Agassi- Perfect technique and timing. He is very consistant and takes it on the rise perfectly.
One Handed Backhand Slice: Henman- As an approach shot down the line you can't get better than this. It stays very low and right in the corner.
Swinging Volley: Few men hit this shot, but Nadal does it alot. Alot of spin right in the corner. He won the French Open with this shot on match point.
Forehand Volley: Ljubicic- Great technique and drop volleys well.
Backhand Volley: Henman- A perfect volley. Puts alot of slice on it and puts it where he wants.

Women:

First Serve: Davenport- The most accurate serve. She gets herself in winning positions with it all the time. Her slice serve is deadly.
Second Serve: Serena Williams- Always gets it in the corners with alot of pace.
Forehand: Not many women have good forehands. Davenport is consistently powerful and can always find winners with it. Hingis' forehand is always perfectly placed.
Backhand Drive:
One handed - Henin-Hardenne- One of the best shots around. Can always find great shots with it.
Double Handed - Davenport- Another classic shot in the game. Accurate all the time and hits it flat.
One Handed Backhand Slice: Mauresmo- Perfect shot for grass.
Swinging Volley: Clijsters- Always put away in the corners well.
Forehand Volley: Mauresmo- Perfect technique, can hit drop volleys aswell.
Backhand Volley: Mauresmo.
