Takes two to troll, doesn't it? So the guy makes a post that *******s don't like and they immediately accuse him of trolling. Thats ridiculous.

The question was which players you find boring, and stressed was that it only was for the way they play. Everybody lists their players including some *******s listing guys like Nadal and Djokovic as exciting. Everyone can just answer the question honestly. Gj011 on the other hand gives an answer smming up the exact three players he dislikes. He always stresses that he dislikes Federer for being arrogant and Robredo for being a cheater as well as Roddick for being a jerk to umpire and opponents. This is totally fine, but it is very strange that the 3 tennisplayers with the worst possible attitude in your eyes are exactly the 3 tennisplayers who have the most boring GAME in your opinion?!

Has anyone ever seen Fognini play? I accidentally caught one of his matches during the French and found it interesting. He made it to the 3rd round of Wimby too I think.

I found his game entertaining.

Entertaining game for sure, but he has a terrible attitude. Have you seen his antics in Rome this year? It was unacceptable, he was acting like a spoiled brat. Among other tantrums, he threw his racquet and hit a line judge (he should've been defaulted, imo).

It's too bad, his game has a lot of flair and he is very talented.

If you want arrogance on court personified just check out Simone Bolleli. Now, what has he done to earn the arrogance, I have no idea.

wow, most people here think murray, simon and nadal are boring. maybe guys on this board are old and that's why they don't appreciate athleticism. for me, running down balls and showing your athleticism on court are more fun than hitting winners. i prefer thick legs over shot maker. btw, i think murray is a shot maker too. how could you not like murray's game when he has thick legs and shot making ability?

It's boring when a player hits too many neutral (non agressive)shots.
How can shots down the center be exciting. I'm not saying it's bad tennis nor am I judging his game for effectiveness.
It is obviously working for him I just don't like watching it.
I'm willing to consider though that perhaps he 's so talented that he makes it look too easy=boring.
I enjoyed watching Wawrinka more.

Now about that thick leg comment.........:shock:

 

[AllDownTheLine]

Roddick has now earned his way on to my Top Exciting players.
I admire his agressiveness and now his groundies.

Yep as mentioned before, guys like Nadal and Murray are boring simply because defensive baseliners relying only on the mistakes of their opponents isn't inherantly entertaining. Just seeing players doing the bare minimum to keep the ball in play is very repetitive.

"Hit ball with spin to center, return ball with extra spin, return with EVEN more spin, repeat till opponent screws up"

I don't exactly understnad about the "thick thighs" segment, please elaborate.
