Before you were a fan of one of "the Big 3," what one player were you a big fan of?

[spottishwood]

Rafter,Haas

 

[jussumman]

Roddick got me interested in tennis actually.

I now think Sampras would have been earlier if I followed then.

 

[MrFlip]

Safin
Joachim Johannsson
Nalbandian

 

[platypus50]

Agassi, Rafter and Safin

 

[Forehanderer]

Becker and Edberg (though I rarely watched them when they were winning slams), then Sampras, then Roddick for a while. I never liked Hewitt for his loud mouthed celebration after beating Sampras and Federer for his racquet smashing at first. Once I saw his attacking and graceful game, Federer grew up on me. I'm also a fan of Nadal's physical and gladiatorial game. To me, the golden years of tennis were early 90s and 04-08. Even Djokovic's game was fairly aggressive back then. Don't like grinding tennis that became the norm after 2010

Henman, Roddick, and Nalbandian. But I got into tennis just before Rogi ascended to the throne.

 

[TennisFan3]

i didn't know much about him until that first uso semi and final. absolutely blew me away, never saw anything like it. remained a fan but was a big goran fan too...pete screwed him over a few times at wimby unfortunately...

Goran was amazing, When he won Wimbledon was the only tennis match when I ever had tears in my eyes. Never felt so emotional ever. What a match and what a win.

 

[Cortana]

Started watching tennis 10 years ago, so nobody.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Mac, Lendl, Cash, Wilander, Vilas, Edberg, Becker, Sampras, Agassi, Rafter - then a lot of Fed’s contemporaries. Fan of the sport…

You cheered Pat over the home boy?!?

Yes. Since I know Goran is massive *****.
