Who is the best player in the men's game at returning the biggest serves?
 
Djokovic is possibly the best returner of all time. His ability to get back serves with depth is inhuman at times. Agassi was more hit and miss; plenty of highlight reel return winners, but I don't think he had Novak's consistency. Difficult to compare directly because I think slower courts have greatly helped returners today.
 
Federer with his chip return off a huge serve. Djokovic much better (more consistent returns) with every other serve.

bit of respect for lleyton here as well. If he could do one thing when at his peak it was use the power of others.
 
The best returners I have seen have been Agassi, Kafelnikov, Ferrer & Djokovic.

Does anyone remember a match Jerome Golmard played against Ivanisevic at the AO in the early 00s? I remember he was really in the zone with his returns that night.

At his peak, he was pretty ridiculous with his returning, certainly now is completely a different story but it what helped him to beat Samapras all those years ago.

I would have to say Djokjovic for me anyway
