I'd say this is a good measure of the overall popularity of Federer and Nadal

[Colin]

sorry to go slightly off topic but did you guys see roddick's art portrait sold for $33,000 on the bay, and Roger and Rafa's sold for $27,000 and $26,000, there must be some mad Roddick fan out there, surprising to see it go higher than Roger and Rafa's.

I was just looking at the final totals ...

Roddick (Andy Roddick Foundation) | USA | $33,100
Federer (Roger Federer Foundation) | UK | $27,300
Nadal (Rafael Nadal Foundation) | UK | $26,500
Djokovic (Novak Djokovic Foundation) | USA | $22,103
Murray (BBC Children In Need) | UK | $7,301
Soderling (World Childhood Foundation) | Japan | $5,100
Ferrer (Save the Children) | USA | $3,350
Berdych (Save the Children) | Switzerland | $3,001

It's not surprising to see those top three as most popular, though I would have thought Federer would be on top. It's good to see Djokovic is becoming more famous beyond tennis circles, too (probably due to his personality).

LOL at the steep drop to Murray.

Well, not even the biggest *********s on here deny that Federer is indeed more popular. Why? Because it's a fact.

 

[namelessone]

In case you're a Roma, that was a good move

Thankfully, I'm not a gypsy.

Hey, BP, what has happened to you ?

Just kidding.

I like Federer more than Nadal and I agree that he probably is more popular but I don't believe this method is an accurate measurement of their popularity.

Murray (BBC Children In Need) | UK | $7,301
Soderling (World Childhood Foundation) | Japan | $5,100
Ferrer (Save the Children) | USA | $3,350
Berdych (Save the Children) | Switzerland | $3,001

Haha, what's more Soderling is right behind him.

BP's in troll mode nowadays, adjusting to the competition, like Federer

Nadal's fans are real-world, earthly rustic muscular types who don't use calendars. They count days by looking at the stars.

According to this thread's logic, Roddick is the most popular:

All the auctions are completed for the 2010 Art of Tennis "self-portrait" and racket auctions on e-bay......

Andy Roddick: $33,100
Roger Federer: $27,300
Rafael Nadal: $26,500
Novak Djokovic: $27,103
Andy Murray:$7301
David Ferrer: $3350
Tomas Berdych: $3001

Which moron paid 33K for a loser ...Andy don't mind losing 8 finals to Federer Roddick's racket?!

They shoulda given him the Edberg award for sayin that.

Such a good loser. Rafa and Rogi should learn from him.

Could be a rich fan from the US who admires him.

ksbh, what is your preferred frame and do you customize it? I am not talking about any teaching frames you may be using, but what you would use/have used in a competitive/serious match. There is so much talk here about "pro frames" but who knows if it is true or just speculation. I really want to hit with the same frame a pro used in a competitive match and see if there is any difference.

Brooklyn Decker bought it. Its the only way Roddick can beat Federer at anything.

ROFL! Might as well do that. A worthless award for a worthless sportsman!

It's a Yonex with Dunlop strings. No, I don't like to customize it except for changing strings

Isn't that what the losers are using nowadays, if I go by the experts on this forum. Man up and use a Babolat OS, ksbh.

So if you add Rafa or Roger;s popularity to Murray;s popularity you will get Andy Roddick;s popularity.
