 Roddick gets a round bashing here, but I wouldn't put him among my least favorite players. Same for Nadal. I actually like Ljubicic and Nalbandian. |

I agree with you on some of those guys though (IE Murray).My list, with some countries omitted (Switzerland, Czech, etc.) because they don't have anyone who I would call a "Favourite".

Sam Querrey is your favorite player of all time from the USA? Considering he has done absolutely nothing significant yet and has been playing pro tennis for about a year how can he be on anybody's all time list for anything? Juan Martín del Potro? ok |

To each his own, right? Stop being an *****hole and post something that DOESN'T criticise the fact that I like Sam Querrey more than Andy Roddick, Jimmy Connors, Bill Tilden, Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras and all of the other Americans that I can think of. I said 'all time' so your choices would have a bit of variety. I don't have to choose players that I don't really like, or don't really dislike. I haven't been following tennis for very long at all and I don't even know what some of the older players were like.
Why don't you go ahead and post a list, rather than wasting minutes of whatever life (or lack thereof) you're living criticising my post? |

current favourite australian(s) lleyton hewitt, chris guccione (pretty **** but he plays good on the odd occasion)
current least favourite australian: casey dellacqua (fat) i see most people prefer henman over murray, henman is a pretty poor player, murray's way better. and why have so many people put monfils in their least favourites? from what i saw at the australian open he was freakin' awesome! i could make a list based on all the other countries but i can't be bothered |

The least favorite from the US has got to be Jeff Tarrango. The guy whines more than a 2 year old baby. Non stop whining, never shuts up, and complained about everything. Kind of reminded me of what Johnny Mac said to Boris Becker 2 months before he won Wimbledon....."better win something first, before you start complaining"........
