Default Forget records, whose tennis is pleasing to the eye ?

For a moment, let us forget 17 majors, H2H , etc.,

If your last wish was to see some magical tennis, pleasing to the eye for a couple of hours, who would be the male player you would watch ?

Wawrinka, when he played Djokovic in AO 4th round this year. Sensational stuff!

Nothing to add. I actually like Berdych but he's an exception = too big of an a***ole to put him on the list.

Those who pick Djokovic are crazy, he has the ugliest strokes out there along with Murray. Nothing pleasing about his game.

You don't watch male tennis to please your eye, unless you're a female.
To please my eyes, give me Kirilenko, Huntuckova, Ivey, Vinci, LiNa.....

Federer DUH. If forced to choose someone else, then I'd pick Edberg.

I agree but why Murray though. Out of all the grinders out there,he's the most aesthetic isn't it? Ofcourse at the end of the day he's still a pusher.

Affirmative, but why Dimitrov? He's young and has a potential, obviously under the influence but still...

Federer, Rios or Gasquet.

Can't believe some of you are choosing pushers like novak and murray. At least choose someone who plays attacking tennis like Sampras, Rafter and Blake, a junkballer like Santoro, or someone french like Llodra, Tsonga or Monfils... Something fun or exciting to look at.

Oh, and if I wanted to look at women, I wouldn't choose tennis players. They're pretty for athletes, but not at the level of non-athlete women. If forced would choose Hingis as she doesn't grunt annoyingly and has more than one shot off of each side.
