[Backspin1183]

Federer at #6 and Nadal at #8.

Many football players and some basketball players have more social media following than any tennis player and probably get searched more times too.

Federer and Nadal's status far greater than that of Novak Djokovic. As expected.

I love how so many Fed fans take pride in the popularity of their player. Who cares lmao? Why do you get off on someone else's popularity? It's kinda creepy.

 

[Djokodal Fan]

teriffic, now we have a popularity contest. I wish grandslams were handed over to popularitas

 

[Backspin1183]

Federer and Nadal's status far greater than that of Novak Djokovic. As expected.

Djokovic is also very famous and popular himself. Also, winning trophies matter more in sports than being more famous than the other famous player.

Great. I'm back in high school.

I prefer Messi over him but there's no denying this guy tops the popularity charts on social media.

Far greater? Djokovic was 20th on that list. Ahead of Lewis Hamilton, Mo Salah, and Tom Brady

Espn is a social network now, no one watches it anymore.

You can buy social media followers, why its not a real source

 

[Nadalgaenger]

ESPN is so stale.

I could care less about their lists.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Suresh breaks top 25!

ESPN is so stale.

They are trying to get better, i'll give them credit. They are laying off the wacko's like lebaturd and kellerman, going back to sports

Interesting, in the category of search score:
Nadal = 40
Federer = 23

And social following:
Nadal = 15.6m
Federer = 14.5m

I’m definitely putting Neymar and Messi ahead of LeBron if we’re talking how many ppl can recognize their names and faces.

I don’t know who #7 is but he’s gotta be pretty darn good to be ahead of Rafa, Curry, Tiger and KD

I don’t know who he is either, but apparently he’s the best cricketeer (?) in the world, and he has one of the most profitable athletic brands in the world.

 

[King No1e]

Nishikori ahead of Ibra, Sharapova, Rooney, and Murray????

 

[Lew II]

Djokovic leads h2h with Fedal despite crowds against him. BOAT confirmed.

 

[Nadal_Django]

ESPN!? Isn't that the same network that last year, proclaimed Federer as the best tennis player of the 10s.

 

[Backspin1183]

Wrong!
Nadal's BOAT:

He is currently acknowledged as the best cricketer.
He has a huge following in India and other cricketing nations, But I didn't know his brand value is so high

OP is just stating facts. I don’t have a problem with that. Djokovic is also popular in his own right and since he emerged almost a decade after Federer, it is understandable his popularity is dwarfed.

WTF?
You fvcking morons!
