[Raining hopes]

Federer is more popular than it is necessary

Nadal is popular but significaly behind Fraud.

Djokovic is no singer the dushyant third but still a tad bit away From Ralph. I am not considering patriotic effect.

But
-AO : 1. Fraud. >= Ralph 3.Djokovic 4. Mugray

- WB :1. Fred 2. Mugray 3.Ralph 4.Djokovic

- USO : 1. Fred ( big gap) 2. Ralph( big gap) 3. Djokovic 4. Mugray



Bole might be behind the other two.But as they say, tennis aint a popularity contest. We have done quite well for ourselves in things that actually matter.

You didn't put Murray for WTF or Wimbledon?

 

[Jackuar]

If we simply say Fed > Ralph > Delpo > Anybody else, that would fit well with the entire season.

 

[King No1e]

AO: Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Wawrinka, Del Potro (any Aussie playing them is automatic #1)
IW: Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Delpo, Wawrinka
Miami: Ditto
MC: Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Monfils, Tsonga, Wawrinka
Madrid: Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Wawrinka
Rome: Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Wawrinka, Dimitrov
RG: Federer, Tsonga, Monfils, Djokovic, Nadal, Wawrinka
Wimbledon: Murray, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Del Potro (Any Brit is automatic #1)
Canada: Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Del Potro
Cincinnati: Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Del Potro, Nadal
US Open: Federer, Del Potro, Nadal, Djokovic, Wawrinka (Any American is #1 unless it's Federer or Del Potro)
Shanghai: Djokovic, Federer, Del Potro, Nishikori, Nadal
Paris: Federer, Tsonga, Monfils, Djokovic, Wawrinka
WTF: Federer, Murray, Djokovic, Nadal, Del Potro

Overall:
Federer >>>> Djokovic >/= Nadal > Wawrinka > Del Potro >> Murray >>>>> the rest


Federer almost a universal #1, Djokovic and Nadal distant 2nd and 3rd, but have a few tournaments where they're the most popular. Djokovic more popular in Europe/Asia while Nadal more popular in Americas. Del Potro and Wawrinka behind Fedalovic. Delpo more popular in the Americas vs Wawrinka in Europe. Murray a top favorite in the UK, but doesn't have the same legions as Fedalovic.

Still has more than Del Potro and Wawrinka though.

We have serious discussions ? When and where ? I thought it was all about Fraud GOAT ! Ralph GOAT! Novack BOAT !!

Did you seriously expect him to? The guy's a clown who's out to troll Murray. It's the only reason he posts here (well, he does like to fill out the time by doing the odd bit of clay trolling too).

Compared to the stuff that guy posts everybody else's discussions on here are on the intellectual level of Einstein.

 

[ChrisRF]

Shanghai: Djokovic, Federer, Del Potro, Nishikori, Nadal

Why do you think Djokovic is on top of Federer in China? You are his fan, so somewhere he must stand on top?

Realistically it’s true that in China Djokovic gets more respect than in many other countries, but the Chinese are crazy about Federer.

 

[Grampa]

Eh, he seems harmless. I find him hilarious, but understand why you might not be a fan of his posting.

Incorrect. Nadal is closer to Federer than Djokovic is to Nadal in terms of popularity. Nadal has 14 million Facebook followers, the same number than Federer, while Djokovic only has 7 million followers on Facebook. And Nadal has more followers both on Instagram and Twitter than Federer. Djokovic doesn't have more followers than Federer on any social media.

 

[Mainad]

He's a troll with a particular mission to troll Murray. Why else do you think he never mentioned Murray in any of the tournaments he posted about whilst mentioning practically every other player you can think of? He's a buffoon.

It seems he's just suffering from a serious case of Fedr derangement syndrome. Hates clay courts, Nadal, "Muggy", anything that threatens Fedr.

Andrew is not currently playing on the ATP Tour

No reason to rank him any longer in active player discussions

 

[King No1e]

He's still in the rankings, played a Slam, and hasn't officially retired. By all measures he's still an active player.

So Anderson and Raonic aren't active players either? They skipped the clay season.

 

[Deon Sanders]

You can skip one season. Clay being the most respectable one.

They didnt skip out on the winter-spring hard courts though

 

[GandalfofTennis]

Judging from my personal experiences in China and at Shanghai, I'd argue that, although they love Djokovic, Federer reigns supreme in popularity. I'd say that Federer is slightly more popular than Djokovic, with some Japanese players (excluding Nishikori) near the back of the pack in terms of fan love. I believe that although the Chinese want to see more Asian representation in male tennis, there is still some lingering resentment towards the Japanese (probably territorial disputes and World War II massacres), though this is improving.

 

[Mainad]

But it's okay to mention retired Ferrer and Haas?

 

[Deon Sanders]

Correct

 

[Mainad]

Correct

I rest my case.

 

[Deon Sanders]

I rest my case.

Ferrer is still active considering he last played in this season. That would be 4 months more recent than Andrew. He may well change his mind like Haas.

Speaking of which Haas's retirement is mentioned

 

[King No1e]

Ferrer is still active considering he last played in this season. That would be 4 months more recent than Andrew. He may well change his mind like Haas.

Speaking of which Haas's retirement is mentioned

Haas retired over a year ago.

You, sir, are a tool.

 

[Deon Sanders]

Haas retired over a year ago.

You, sir, are a tool.

It says "Retired Haas"

 

[Mainad]

Ferrer is still active considering he last played in this season. That would be 4 months more recent than Andrew. He may well change his mind like Haas.

Speaking of which Haas's retirement is mentioned

Haas and Ferrer are both now formally retired so neither are any longer officially active. Murray last played only 4 months ago and has yet to officially announce his retirement which means he is still officially active as we speak.

 

[King No1e]

It says "Retired Haas"

You put "retired Haas" but not "retired Murray"? Is Andy retired or active? Or do you just not care, you absolute cardboard box?

 

[Deon Sanders]

No. He just isnt a top 5 fan favorite at any of the events

Not a top 5 favorite at Wimbledon?

 

[Deon Sanders]

No

No

Fedr.

 

[Steve0904]

Can we just get this over with and say Federer for all of them?

Serious answer

Doha: I don't know, I'd say Federer but he doesn't play there anymore. So probably Djokovic and then Nadal.
Brisbane Federer then probably Hewitt if he was still playing
Australian Open Federer, Djokovic, Nadal
Acapulco Nadal
Dubai Federer, Djokovic, Nadal
Indian Wells Federer, Nadal, Djokovic
Miami Federer, Nadal, Djokovic. In normal circumstances I'd switch Djokovic and Nadal, but Miami has a pretty high Latin American population that loves Nadal.
Monte Carlo Nadal, Federer, Djokovic (very close b/w Fed and Djoker IMO.
Barcelona Nadal, the end
Madrid Nadal, then probably someone like Ferrer tbh. Never got the impression Fed or Djoker are super popular there.
Rome Maybe Nadal? Tough to say if Federer got more this year. I'd say Fabio too
French Open Federer, then any Frenchman. Monfils is probably second
Halle Federer, the end
Queens Murray
Wimbledon Murray. Obviously Federer gets a ton too, but I think when it comes right down to it they root hard for Murray as expected. Then probably Nadal and then Djokovic
Canada Djokovic. I'll give him this one. He's played and won there the most. Splitting hairs between Nadal and Fed
Cincinnati Federer, Djokovic, Nadal
US Open Today it's Federer, but I remember times when Blake, Roddick and Agassi got more in the mid 00's, especially Agassi. I think Nadal comes second and Djoker 3rd.
Beijing Djokovic
Shanghai I'll give this one to Fed, but it's close. The Chinese love Djoker.
Basel Well I wonder? I'd put Delpo second.
Paris Bercy Federer, Djokovic, Nadal
WTF London Federer, Murray, Djokovic, Nadal

Good point about Fedr at the US Open. People forget the times when the USO crowd was aggressively partisan toward Agassi and cheered Federer errors. Fast forward 10 years and Federer is the heavy crowd favorite against Djokovic.
It takes time for the American crowd to warm up to new champions. It's only a matter of time before we get the same situation with Djokovic against Zverev or some younger player.

EDIT: Djokovic is a huge favorite in Rome too. Def up there with Nadal and Fed. Also interesting choice putting Djokovic #1 in Canada. I've never been there to see the crowd live, but I always got the impression that he isn't as big in Canada and the US as elsewhere. I may very well be hilariously wrong though.

Yeah I know people think fed just rolled out of bed being the favorite but that wasnt the case. I feel like 2008 may have been a key point for uso fans and fed. Also speaking of cheering or booing sometimes I feel like tennis one of those sports where fans cant act like sports fans. Heaven forbid you cheer errors because it means your fav got a point like it's so bizarre to me and its legit hilarious to me when british fans go on about appropriate sport behavior. i definitely understand that its a different sport in that you to have to be careful when you shout out and interrupting the point but there is so much policing over when to cheer, how to cheer etc

I admire you for even attempting to make a go of this. This is a super difficult topic. A lot harder than picking who would be the top 3 favorites playing wise to win each tournament.

All i know is Federer would be top 3 in almost every one in this category though. Nadal in most places is also top 3.
