Rublev somehow seems worse than your list. A very monotonous game,

Rublev is more interesting because he grunts "BLYEEHHHH" every time he belts a ball

Baseline tennis has a lot of subtleties and the Demon high up on the interesting list as he relies on taking time away; a unique and odd player. Hard to make a case for Khach. PCB when in full song is pretty good. Oddly enough PCB/Demon won cincy doubles and playing in Rome again.

Cilic is completely opposite to Tsonga in terms of how graceful his game is. It's very fun to watch him play. At least for me.
About Murray, I thought it was well known how strategic his game is. He uses a variety of shots to throw off the rhythm of his opponents.

Medvedev. I like his personality, he's a great guy, but his game sort of annoys me.
I mean he's good thinker and good tactician, great server, he's capable of both great defence and fast switch to offence, he can hit DTL BH very consistently but... I find his strokes quite ugly technically speaking. Also his movement is weird - he seems to be off balance all the time - yet he's still able to hit consistently all the time.

You all may not like this fact but the only thing in tennis which is important is to make the last point in the match. It does totally not matters how you do it as long as it is within the rules! Brat Gilbert even wrote a book about it, How to win ugly. Never read it but i have far to often lost to opponents with ugly strokes . So i hope to learn from that.

Not Murray, seriously? Lobs, drop shots, short balls, long balls, passing shots, volleys etc. See what Fognini has just said about his game in his rather caustic comments about his relationship with him.
Neither Cilic nor Tsonga come anywhere close to Murray for variety which goes a long way to account for their lop-sided H2H deficits with him.
Oh Judy, you are so reliable.

Zverev with the freaking ab show shirt pull up thing!
Jack Sock just because he’s a wanna be Kyrgios
And any player who bounces the ball thru their legs pre serve drives me crazy

Objectively, Cilic has a better net game than Murray but does indeed have less variety from the back.
Both are behind Tsonga, but a not insignificant margin.
Murray has an amazing netgame, amongst the best om tour. Cilic can only hit the putaway volleys and has no ballfeel.

Not very long, so maybe my statement was hyperbolic. Still Jo is one of the most entertaining players from the last few decades
How long have you been watching tennis?

I wouldn't put him in the top 50 most entertaining players of 90s, 2000's and 2010's. I don't have anything against him, he gave it a fair go, but fairly ugly to watch I think.

Some very well deserved mentions here and it’s good to see people letting the hate flow through them, especially for the one-dimensional players and passive, useless chokers...
But I think DeMinaur and PCB get a bit of a bad rap. Most of their matches, particularly against half decent opponents on hard, they play interesting attacking ball. And their games are evolving a little, as opposed to some of the horrifically one-dimensional players mentioned here.

I like her strokes now though, at least most of the time. Her forehand became good looking in the last decade, and her backhand was always nice. I also appreciate her peak athleticism, deadly returns and amazing clutch, all quite spectacular.
The death stares are horrible, but also they make the matches more entertaining

but it is because all of you are sitting in this imaginary jury. Furthermore you 'd be surprised how ugly your own game looked if you would watch a video clip of it.
