[Sir] Timothy Henman.

This is how tennis is supposed to be played.

The Henman Hill represented at TTW! I love it!

Coric beautiful game.. Lol. What's next? Tomic in the most competitive players poll?

[Sir] Timothy Henman.

Sigh...19 years later and it still hurts that Henman lost to that clown.

Federer

Should have at least 23 slams.

I thought this would predictably arrive as the second post but it’s still funny.

Michael Llodra. Beatiful S&V player who would have done much better in the 90's. I loved the rythm of his game but he only won 5 singles titles in his career. He had some very memorable runs in Paris Masters where he made the SF in 2010 and 2012. Not very surprising he modeled his game after his idol Stefan Edberg.

Good call!!

He’s still too young to be a true disappointment even though he has been disappointing...

It’s almost a curse to be too Federesque. Everyone will always measure you against Fed...

 

[PilotPete]

Definitely Fed. Would have had 25 slams by now if he weren't so stubborn.

Fraud aside, the real answer is one of Stich, Safin, or Scud. Many others had decent looking games but I don't think their achievements are that disappointing as their ceilings weren't that high to begin with. Nalbandian is another candidate but imo he's not a slam dunk slam winning talent anyways so the results he had can't be that disappointing although surely he could have been better.

Stich's game is very pretty by anyone's standard. I consider the other two to be quite aesthetic as well but of course you need to be a real man with a non negligible level of T to appreciate that. You may not find their games very attractive if you mostly watched tennis in the recent era where being above 200 pounds was illegal and the ball had to be within 3 feet of the net for you to go for a winner.
