[vkartikv]

Anyone who thinks Henin Hardenne's single HBH is not worth watching needs some classic tennis dvds to remind him/her of what tennis really is about. And those dvds will also remind you of what Dent's game means to true admirers of the old school game...

Andy R a hearthrob is annoying?

 

[AJK1]

Williams is a bore, and a spoilt brat who thinks her s*** doesn't stink.

 

[DRtenniS1112]

How do you find Dent annoying. I love that guy. It's about time the US offered a s&v player. Anyway there hasn't been a match yet that I didn't enjoy watching.

Totally agree with you, except that his game needs a lot of adjustment if he is to make it to the top.

 

[DRtenniS1112]

Yep he needs to get quicker and work that second serve and he will hold most of the time. I think his big weakness is returns unless he plays someone with a bad serve where he can chip and charge.

I think his big weakness is returns unless he plays someone with a bad serve where he can chip and charge.

To me, Dent's biggest weakness is his serve, of all things. I have never in my life seen someone with such a huge serve get broken as much as he does. Karlovic isn't nearly as talented as Dent and he's very difficult to break. Dent's a fantastic volleyer, attacks well behind the slice and yet get's broken more than most top players, even those with weaker serves. I agree that he needs a better second serve, but I also think he needs to use the first serve a little better than he does.

 

[Court_Jester]

I'm not sure if he's there but Coria certainly ranks very high on my list.

 

[shsman2091]

Blake is fun to watch.

 

[Applez]

Coria is damn annoying

 

[ssuHeartsRivald]

I don't like the Williams brothers act and of course Coria.

I saw Roddick in the first round and that wasn't annoying but he is a good entertainer.

 

[Fee]

My fav to watch

Roger Federer
Maria Sharapova
Serena Williams
Robby Ginepri
Tommy Haas

Do you turn the sound off when she's on?

 

[Roger is Boring]

I saw Roddick in the first round and that wasn't annoying but he is a good entertainer.

totally agree.dent is ok too. coira is an ass..federer has no personality he is a total bore to watch. there def wont be any hot chicks watching him tonight like at arod's so I won't bother watching him tonite

 

[he-broke-my-heart]

Do you turn the sound off when she's on?

yeah we do. her screams are getting to extreme measures

 

[ssuHeartsRivald]

federer has no personality he is a total bore to watch.

Not to blame, but for this this i totally not agree. Everybody has a personality, maybe Roger not so much act in the field and little shy, but he carry out that how to make incredible shots, so that is entertain me as well just same like Roddick do with his power shots and his overact to himself. Just the different way how each player can make themself interesting for us. You know i like Safin when he was angry and frustraed then bashed his racquet to the ground. make a match more interesting to watch..

 

[GregLynch]

coria and gaudio r annoying but that is people they r claycourter who play slow and that is s h i t as s boring

 

[rilokiley]

I honestly don't find anyone annoying. this is one of my favorite times of the year and I'm just happy i don't have to go over to my buddy's house to watch the Open.
however, since this is just a stupid poll...
Davenport isn't the most exciting player.

 

[tonysk83]

Sharapova's matches would be equally as boring as Davenports, but Sharapova is cute, and still it is boring to watch. I love watching Gasquet play.

 

[he-broke-my-heart]

when i make it pro, my name will be here at top of the list for sure!!

 

[xanctus]

Blake is fun to watch...but his supporters really suggested otherwise...

 

[xanctus]

Coria is damn annoying

Dude, you just hate Coria...that's all...

 

[Alexandros]

Coria for his overall attitude problem.
Gaudio with his sulking ways whenever he's down in a match.
Pierce because of her irritating mannerisms and the length of time it takes her to get ready to serve.
Mauresmo - you always know the inevitable choke is coming, the question is whether it is the match you're watching or the next.

 

[pistolpeege]

Mary Pierce

[35ft6]

Blake is fun to watch.

But his blog is boring. Not nearly as fun as Ivan's.

 

[Alexandros]

Mary Pierce is an utter clown. She randomly grins, brushes her eyelashes and blows at the air... it's rather disturbing to be honest.

whats wrong with davenport?

 

[Clayplay]

in my opinion the williams sisters always have the most entertaining matches out of womens tennis. sharapova is dead boring to watch.
out of the men i like to watch safin play. he is so unpredictable... Fabrice santoro is also great. he has such talent and he makes funny noises when he wants to get to a drop shot...
i have a question..... why do some people think that Coria has an attitude problem?? I think he's great, but he's not half as good as Nalbandian....

 

[ssuHeartsRivald]

mary pierce quite annoying for me.

 

[Shabazza]

totally agree.dent is ok too. coira is an ass..federer has no personality he is a total bore to watch. there def wont be any hot chicks watching him tonight like at arod's so I won't bother watching him tonite

yeah having all the chicks in the crowd is, what counts the most
I think Fed couldn't care less and saying he has no personality is just ********, sorry

Bottom line: I FIND ALL OF THEM ANNOYING!!!

For the simple fact: THEY ALL PLAY BETTER THAN ME!!!

 

[opiate]

Not that I find anybody annoying. For me, it's just a joy to be able to watch a boatload of tennis. Tennis-overdose, that's what I'm on, I guess. If I were to die today, I'd die happy.

Anyway, I found Zvonereva annoying, at least based on today's game against Hingis. She was hitting balls as if her self-destruct button was at the other side of the net (and she was doing her damnest to hit it).

And I've almost forgotten how enjoyable it is watching Hingis's celebral play. I was grinning all match. I wish it was longer, though.

Anyway, am looking forward to Nalby, Malisse, and Santoro tomorrow. (Mostly because that's the schedule my friend who owned the TV laid down for us freeloaders....)..

Ah well, beggars can't be choosers.

 

[gonzalocatalino]

Hewitt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pound cat]

Hewitt annoys everyone..his opponent, fans watching, the media, and his fellow pros. The only one who said Hewitt just does his own thing is Safin, but even he was getting bothered by his fist pumps of his errors in AO last year.

MR ANNOYANCE ... LLEYTON HEWITT

 

[Klippy]

Yes, Hewitt wins the award for the most annoying player.

 

[gscone]

Hewitt and Mauresmo for sure..

 

[jonolau]

Hewitt and Mauresmo for sure..

Aww, what did Mauresmo do this time ....

 

[pound cat]

Pierce annoys me a lot because sheeeeeee's sooooooooooooo
slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

 

[jonolau]

Pierce annoys me a lot because sheeeeeee's sooooooooooooo
slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

Ha ha, my wife and I always have a great laugh when she preps herself to serve just before she tosses the ball ... she'll stop and give her opponent the evil eye for 2 seconds.

 

[Count Grishnackh]

I find the Williams very annoying but I do enjoy watching them lose and give lame excuses for their losses, I always delight in that. I used to like Hewitt a few years back for his tenacity and fight but now he's just become a ***** on the court. He's gonna p*ss off opponents just to get them off their game, any little edge he needs he'll use to beat you, even if it means comprimising gamesmanship.

Hewitt is more the kind of guy you wanna punch or spit in the face whereas Coria is a little whining spoiled cry baby if he doesn't get "his" line calls. Nalbandian is the new Rios with the "chip on his shoulder" attitude on the court. Actually Roddick has surprised me in the last 2-3 years, in the early days he annoyed me but I guess he's matured in an Agassi-like way. I can't forget Pierce, taking time to do her nails during those fake injury time outs annoys me too. Oh yeah, you know what gets to me as well? Bad calls during NFL Playoff games.

 

[FED-EX]

gaudio is an ass!!!!
he could be playing his regular tennis but then he misses one shot and immediatly "serves" his raquet to the floor and starts complaining...he's a moaner!!! I would jell him to shut the F*** up (if I were playing against him)
Ohhh damm, what an annoying character, coria deserved the french open much more than he did.

If he was playing against you, you wouldn't tell him to stfu, because he won't be complaining about anything.

Why would you complain when you're double bageling your opponent?

 

[Andres]

And I find Chela veeeeery boring.

 

[shsman2091]

I am watching Hingis right now, and I think she is my new most entertaining player to watch, her shot variety and angles are so interesting.

 

[RiosTheGenius]

Justine Henin Hardenne: what's not to love, one of the few women players really worth watching. BH alone is fun to watch.
Andy Roddick: I can totally agree with that, way too much TV time

[counterpunch]

Roger is Boring should just change his name because he is indeed ******** as previously stated. Im just wondering pal, how well do you know roger?.......wait not at all. quit acting like you know all about him when you have never even met him, im tired of these senseless attacks. If you dont like him fine, but dont make up crappy reasons why you shouldnt.

 

[PM_]

Hewitt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree. Hewitt has no game.

 

[jonolau]

Agree. Hewitt has no game.

His most annoying habit is when he points all his fingers at his face after winning a point ... then he goes and loses the next.

 

[TheVicht]

I honestly don't find anyone annoying. this is one of my favorite times of the year and I'm just happy i don't have to go over to my buddy's house to watch the Open.
