Who do you think has the ugliest groundstrokes in the game right now?

Rafa's got to be up there on the men's side. Ugly groundstrokes, but thanks to luxilon-type string technology (which pinnacled right as he was maturing, luckily for him), he has muscled his way to several slams.

Hewitt's forehand is pretty ugly as well.

On the women's side, there are too many to count.

I've always been a believer in function over form with regards to groundstrokes but I always get a kick out of Venus' form especially when she plays at Wimbledon. Because of her open stance, she often looks absurdly out of position for her shots and I always marvel at how she hits the ball so well from awkward looking positions.
