Most boring player

[TheTruth]

No Fed doesn't look like he's on crack and fidgety to me.As for his shotmaking abilities,he's one of the best shotmakers ever IMO.

He is definitely one of the bestshotmakers, I'll give you that. And he does get to the ball extremely well. I just don't particularly like the manner in which he does it. He looks very nervous to me. If I was going to think about an elegant mover, he just isn't tops on my list.

Don't know for others but I personally don't need to do that as I have the ability to think for myself and form my own opinion.And regardless I'm from Serbia and Serbian comentators aren't really that biased in favour of Fed.It's probably different elsewhere.

We all form our own opinions, and no two people are alike. That's why we have different preferences, neither being wrong or right. Just different. I would love to watch Serbian TV if that's the case, because the commentators that broadcast our matches are ridiculously overbearing (and many of his fans, not just here). If I was a Fed Fan they would've turned me off with all that gushing.



Disagree with that.His game was always elegant and aesthetically appealing to me ever since I saw him win his first title in Milan in 2001 and beat Sampras at Wimbledon that year.That's around the time I became a fan of his.

Nothing wrong with that, although it is subjective and you're entitled. It goes back to differences. I was his fan once too, he just turned me off with the things he says.

Yes,he is a great player.



Obviously according to your opinion he isn't.A lot of people will disagree(and no I don't talk about comentators disagreeing).

I've never said he isn't a great player. I just don't find him elegant or the praise warranted. I see other people who looked better playing the game of tennis. Why do you insist that I said he wasn't a great player?

Never though Maria as having an elegant game.For me she was always a good ballstriker with powerful serve and groundies and a good competitor.She does look like a very elegant girl to me but I couldn't say the same for her game.

I know, but oh my, that was the catch phrase at the beginning of her career.

P.S.-I never said he was boring either. I'm just not a fan of his.

I wanted to vote Nadal, but then I saw Karlovic there.

 

[Nadal_Freak]

He digs in his rear end for energy

It was a joke man.

 

[Zaragoza]

hum hum? so? should i be impressed with your Nadal is the best BS? at least i talk about real tennis unlike you living vicarously someone else life.

my sugestions would be to add me to your ignore list!

What "Nadal is the best BS"? Like if I had said that he is the best on everything. Wrong poster.
He is the most underrated and hated player on this board so don´t be surprised if some people reply to certain posts.
I do talk about real tennis, you just take this board as a place to fight and disrespect others from the anonymity of internet.
I won´t add you to my ignore list. I want to be aware of what you say and I will report as many posts as necessary.

Zaragoza lays the hammer on Gorecki. Best poster on the board imo.

I agree!.....

I agree as well!

Thanks guys. There are many other good posters and some of them are not Nadal fans but unfortunately they´re outnumbered by the mean guys.
I would like this to be a better place but it´s not in my hands.

So cute...


but i still would like to see you helping newcommers to this sport by sharing your knowledge on racquets, strings, shoes... like i do with the limited resources i have! at least you know the new link for atp web site... that's some piece of good info!

 

[Leublu tennis]

maybe if nadal would limit his fist pumping exploits, he wouldn't be so tired at the end of the year????? (of course he would have to severely cut down on the butt-scratching too)

Thats funny. Actually, the butt action is something we look forward to when we watch. "There he goes again".

 

[Roger is Boring]

why its none other than mr personality roger federer of course.

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

why its none other than mr personality roger federer of course.

Mungo = Roger is Boring??

 

[soyizgood]

Some boring women
Jankovic - learn how to volley!
Zvonareva :shock:
Radwanska
Davenport (This is off topic but after announcing that she'll play in the Aussie open, a week later, she withdrew due to an unexpected pregnancy).
Cornet - doesn't know how to do anything.

How is Zvonareva boring? She actually has an all-court mindset. Sure you can bet she'll lose in the finals, but she actually uses angles and spin more so than power on her shots.

Most of the WTA players have the same cookie-cutting bash any and every ball (Sharapova, Ivanovic, Serena, Safina, Petrova, Dementieva, Vaidisova, etc.) with only a few that can play at the net (Venus, Zvonareva, Kuznetsova among the few and even then Venus and Kuzy are ball bashers mostly).

Oh and I agree Jankovic has ZERO net game.

 

[FlamEnemY]

People who are silent and not too flashy are sometimes those who are the most interesting

Since we really don't know anyone from the pros personally, we should just comment their game, not personality.
For me it's a tie between Karlovic and Roddick, although sometimes Roddick is very... entertaining

 

[a-naik.1]

davydenko...hands down.

 

[msc886]

I'm gonna have to go with players who slow the match down by taking too long between points e.g Djokovic and Nadal along with Sharapova. The wait takes longer than the points sometimes.

 

[Djokovic]

I'm sorry but it has to be Ljubicic, no question ....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[kelz]

Nadal - there's no point watching if the match's on clay.

 

[Morrowreze]

I'm going for Karlovic. I do like watching him play if he is playing a good returner. But against a player with a poor returner it can turn into a very boring match very quick.

I agree with this too. I like watching all of those players, when they actually get around to playing.

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

For a while, Nadal was leading the pack, now it is Djokovic's turn. Shocking! :twisted:

 

[msc886]

Not too surprised by the results.

 

[Nadal_Freak]

So I guess Djokovic is the most interesting player in tennis.

 

[msc886]

No just that less people think he is most boring.

 

[Shaolin]

Del Potro has to be the most boring player ever.

I have never seen a more joyless and lethargic human on a tennis court.

 

[Cenc]

touch choice
simon, karlović and roddick i think

 

[Melissa]

Great Poll
I copied and pasted both the Nadal and Federer groups of names so I can refer to them in the future when the validity of a member's post is in question. To cite either of these great player's games in the category of most boring tells me the posts of said people are quite likely to be nothing more than fan/hate posts.
Good job in exposing the hate/fan boys.

 

[jetlee2k]

Karlovic, Andy Murray, Nadal.. gosh.. Murray is truly a pusher.. he pushs everything back with no pace.. that's why his lost to Delpotro.. Nadal is great for mental toughness but gosh.. those spin lobs getting old.. he does the same thing over and over and over again..I really like him alot for his fighting spirits but his style of play makes me falling asleep..

 

[GameSampras]

Murray.

Wake me up when his matches are over.

 

[fednad]

Good thread.
Regardless of the subject under discussion, the poll can be used to see who dslikes which player most.
Trolls like suresh, nadal freak and the gang are calling federer the most boring player.
I appreciate this thread - OP this is a job well done.

 

[fednad]

^^Great post, but I disagree>>> Nadal is boring when we are lucky enough to watch him play>>>> being that he is always injured or pulling out of events due to exhaustion.

Not only that. Even on court we are lucky to see him play because half of his time s spent in arranging water bottles, pulling out his panties, sticking up his socks, stopping the serve to wipe forehead.
To see him in tennis-action become rarity sometimes.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

I find Robredo to be extremely boring. He just has no charisma. His match against Murray the other day was painful.

 

[luckyguy]

lol.. agree with this one..

Murray.

Wake me up when his matches are over.
