Hi Balaji,

My favourite player was Waldner. You can see a lot of discussion between our members on who is their favourite player. For the penhold grip I think I'd have to go for Wang Hao as he was the first player I ever saw using the reverse penhold backhand whilst making it look just as natural as a shakehand player.
