I'd take Elorza over most of those guys in singles for sure! I only saw Atain play when he visited Milford and he was flawless! I've never seen Lopez, but I think Elorza would do well against those BPT backs in singles.

He was like maybe 6' 4" thin and strong with great ability to move and he had kill shots....kind of perfect for singles. I think those abilities make him one of the best backcourt singles guys ever.

My favorite singles guy was Lecube, esp. if in post #1. He wasn't the best, but he sure could serve aces when 'ON'! Churruca is one of very few players that would rebote a serve seeing he wasn't going to get it any other way....nobody better than him at positioning and court sense.

It might be a weakish return from Churruca in that singles game when Lecube essentially aces him, but I'd rather have that than a guy back up to the wall, jump and the pelota is a foot over his cesta. If the serve is to the outside a bit, one can even make a nice backhand rebote carom winner out if it.

Damn, I miss Jai Alai!
