We've just recently had a "Most boring player's to watch" thread, so it got me wondering, who is everyone most Entertained by....?

Here is my top 10

ATP
1) Roger Federer (Without question)
2) Richard Gasguet (Especially on grass)
3) Fernando Gonzalez (Produces the unexpected with his forehand :shock:)
4) Paradorn schrichapan
5) Gael Monfils
6) Marat Safin (Obvious reasons lol)
7) Marcos Baghatis
8) Carlos Moya
9) Novak Djokovic (Would have been higher if he didn't bounce the ball so bloody much)
10) Janko Tipsarevic

WTA
Henin
 
I'll agree:

(not in any real order)

Gonzo
Bags
Tipsy
Marat
Ferrer
Rafa
Novak
Kuerten
Tsonga
Murray

To name a few.

On the WTA--it's all about AI....for obvious reasons:)

I love Safin as well for obvious reasons: and I'm straight as well. He is so entertaining to watch--win or lose.
 
Well why 10 most exciting players, why not 3 ? Or take this idea and create another thread cause i dont like to create them - which matches you like to watch most ? Because it is not the same to watch Federer - Mahut when the latter guy is pathetic. It is great to watch any Federer - Roddick match imo, cause I think Roddick would, as usually, give it 110% but this time it may work ?

;)

I like all the classic matchups, Fed - Nadal, Fed - Djoko, Nadal - Djoko. Other than this, on clay I like to watch any claycours specialist against Fed and on grass same goes for Nadal. I like to watch Nalbandian and Roddick generally and Haas when in form. Monfils is atractive and Tsonga and Gasquet can be very much, though Gasquet can be pathetic from time to time.

If Santoro is not on your list, you've never seen him play.

I consider him retired. Thats why he is not mentioned. If we go to all the past people Id say much more. And why I consider him retired, well becasue lately he still has got all his magic but can not produce enough consistancy or quality to challange top guys and losses easily, except when Djokovic makes an idiot of himself in paris, I will not go deeper into this but it looked like he tanked it or was very sick, either way he did not impress me at all back then.
 
Nadal (wicked angles, incredible gets, fierce scowl, purposeful walk)
Haas (awesome fluidity, total grace in his movement, gorgeous to look at)
Baghdatis (fluidity, big smile, plays to the crowd, incredible gets)
Malisse (smooth as all get out, awesome fluidity, seems like a nice, fun guy)
Clement (spunky, incredible gets, handsome)
Tsonga (Incredible playing, smart tactics,)
Mathieu (body like a rubber band, so elastic, beautiful to watch, cute)
Grosjean (like his on court attitude, crazy gets, nice personality)
Ollie Rochus (so cute with his little self, determination, spunky spirit)
Safin (just a pleasure all around, like his cockiness, yes, even while he's going through this bad patch, something about the way he carries himself, win or lose)

WTA
Serena (love her combination of power and grace, fierce scowl, never say die)
Justine (grace and fluidity, spunkiness, small stature, and self-belief)
Lindsay (when she's on, nobody hits it better, pin point accuracy, dominating)
Szavay (really enjoy her style, haven't seen as much from her)
Jelena (total athleticism, big smile on court, seems to have fun)
Safina (big heart, big smile)
Harkleroad (spunky, seems nice)

You have a point. :D Lets just consider the player when they are in chair gripping matches, rather than these walkovers we can tend to see in early rounds of tournaments.
 
Exept these standard players like Fedex Nole Nadal Nalby...
I really enjoy in Kiefer's game, anyone else?
 
Nalbandian (Maestro's ball-striking alone)
Grosjean (flashy)
Gasquet( " )
Monfils (when on a random hot-streak)
Gonzo (mean pace obviously)
Mathieu (angles!)
Federer (his slice alone in person is such an amazing shot)
santoro (vs. Benneteau Paris 2006)
Murray (creative)
Youzhny ( " )

What's this all about? You admire the way their bums wiggle on court as they prepare to return serve?
 
Nadal-- my fav player (at least now)
Hewitt-- I have a style sort of like his
Federer-- his movement is amazing
Isner-- aces are always fun to watch

Those are my favorites... I couldn't fill 6 more spots... :(
 
In no particular order

1. Olivier Rochus
2. Radek Stepanek
3. Amelie Mauresmo
4. Justine Henin
5. Fabrice Santoro
6. Novak Djokovic
7. Gustavo Kuerten

10. Marcos Baghdatis
 
Nadal (vamos Rafa!)
Federer (hoping to see him against rafa)
Hewitt (so he can **** ppl off)
Roddick (...go usa?)
Blake (see above)
Spadea (So i can laugh when he raps about losing)
Sharapova (T & A)
Hantuchova (T & A)
Ivanovic (T & A)
Kirilenko (T & A)

I know I'm going to get flamed for the Roddick mentioning, but hey, I'm a patriot, and who knows, if he gets his spare pure drive out of his @$$ he might play better?
 
ATP:

1. Fabrice Santoro (so crafty and i like how he can make any player look like a rookie)
2. Filippo Volandri (d@@d, this guy on clay is just so awesome. I love his bh, and he's just so calm and cool on the courts)
3. Ivo Karlovic (can make anybody look stupid on the courts)
4. Roger Federer (its Roger)
5. Rafael Nadal (sheer grit and determination)
6. Andrei Pavel (awesome backhand)
7. Richard Gasquet (love the bh angles)
8. Jo Wilfried Tsonga (BIG game)
9. Sebastian Grosjean (talented)
10. John Isner (big serves, like his kick serve that bounces over the back wall, lol)

WTA:
1. Justine Henin (Love everything about justine's game)
2. Francesca Schiavone (i love the acute angles she tries)
3. Kim Clijsters b4 she retired
4-10 (eh..they're mostly boring to watch from here on out in my opinion)
 
In no order:

Federer - Simply the best
Hewitt - Everyone loves a little emotional outbreak. Plus he always has good points.
Safin - *see Hewitt, but with more racquet abuse*
Djokovic - I just love his game. Fun personality too.
Hingis - Pure court craft. Love the drop shots, volleys, and lobs.
Clijsters - Always turned out some AMAZING stuff. Never gave up on a point.
Henin - Plays the game better than anyone on the WTA, and even some of the guys on the ATP.
Jankovic - She actually reminds me a bit of Hingis with her guile.
Davenport - Best ball stricker on the WTA. Queen of the lines.
Serena - Only when she looses. She's just annoying when she wins.
 
In no particular order:

Kiefer - 'cause you never know
Safin - same
Federer - just amazing shotmaking
Paes - Unbelievable doubles player
Baghdatis - Looks like he has fun on court
Monfils - he's a beast
Tsonga - another beast
El Aynaoui
Gonzo
Just about any one-hander who beats down Roddick, ala Gasquet, Kohlshreiber, etc.
 
1) Federer
2) Nadal
3) Djokovic
4) Nalbandian
5) Verdasco (I'm surprised nobodies mentioned him yet)
6) Safin
7) Ferrero
8) Gasquet
9) Monfils
10) Youzhny
 
Even though this is a current list, I've got a couple of recently retired players on it.

ATP:
1. Roger. Enough said.
2. Nadal. Didn't like at first, but starting to grow on me.
3. Djokovic. Liked his game before he became the man.
4. Joachim Johansson. Big serve, big forehand, everything else is unnecessary.
5. Santoro. Magician.
6. Leander Paes. Quickest hands at the net I've seen.
7. Gasquet. Flashy.
8. Berdych. The new Safin!
9. Fernando Verdasco. Big lefty forehand.
10. Stepanek. Quirky, but always entertaining matches.

WTA.
1. Anna Chakvetadze. Smooth and silky game. Too bad she doesn't have enough power to hang with the big girls.
2. Justine Henin.
3. Patty Schnyder.
4. Martina Hingis.
5. Lindsay Davenport. kind of like Berdych on the men's side. Smooth easy power. Limited movement.
6. Kim Clijsters.
7. Sania Mirza.
8. Ana Ivanovic.
9. Ashley Harkleroad.
10. Hantuchova.

Federer - you wanna watch/record him as much as possible while he is playing.
Nadal - make no mistake about him. this is an exceptional athelete.
Tsonga - I love his all court style and great shot making.
Gasquet - Great shot making.
Nalbandian - I wanna learn the way he constructs points.
Safin - they guy is head case but I love the game he produces when he is on.

Well, I loved the way Fish played at Pacific Life. Great all court style with some net game.
I was also very impressed with kei Nishikori last month.

The shot making in the Verdasco vs. Haas match at IW was unreal...anyone else see that match?, now those two are fun to watch, especially since they are head cases too that adds some entertainment value somehow

I think its more about the match up then one player but I like watching Nadal, Santoro, Baghdatis

That's only 9 there, Mcjiggles!

Did I say 10? The title says 10, but if I wanna list 9, let me; other's have I'll bet, although I actually haven't counted.

Plus, you bothered counting my list, and no-one elses? Are you...like...attached to me? Every thread in Tip's involving you and Rickson always mentions my name...whether it be Titties or Tantrums w/e.

What? You want me to add Djokovic?

Anyways, aren't you kinda busy kissing Rickson's ass to post right now?

Well, according to you I just might BE Rickson's ass. :twisted:

No, I don't care that Djokovic isn't on your list, although that Tarzan chest pounding WAS pretty cool.

Maybe, you never know, the way you suck up to him. But...according to you...you're two different users. So, is Rickson getting bored with your lips on his backside, or did you take a break?

Another piece of evidence for Rickson's ass kissing is when you put all his threads in your sig, but don't even put your own club in your sig. :lol: *DF4L changes sig* Now you'll prolly say, there's no space.

Plus, I never said I like Djoko. I'm a Djoko fan.

Anyways, answer my other question, don't change the topic with the chest pounding.

Why'd you count my list and no-one elses who had 9 or less, let alone mention it? And why is my name always mentioned in your club threads when I don't post for like what? 2 days? or when I don't post at all (your Super Smash "Organization").
 
no order

Roger Federer
Rafael Nadal
Richard Gasquet
Fernando Gonzalez
Marat Safin
Lleyton Hewitt
Andy Roddick
Jo Tsonga
Igor Andreev
Maria Kirilenko (mostly to look at)
 
The reason I left out my thread is because I started it mostly for laughs. I know most people can hit powerful overheads here. My three favorite groups (NOT just because Rickson started them) and what racquet I use is much more important to me than my crappy organization.

Anyway, back on topic; here's my list:

ATP:

Federer: obvious reasons:
Santoro: insane gets and spins
Djokovic: great forehand and serve
Gasquet: unbelievable backhand
Tsonga: great guy, a real crowd-pleaser
Gonzalez: everybody likes 100 MPH forehands

WTA:

Henin: Federer reincarnated as a WTA player
Ivanovic: once again, obvious reasons
Jankovic: Can be a bit of a Mcenroe, but great gets and nice backhand
Francesca Schiavone: Something about that grunt turns me on (that was a joke, obviously, but it DOES sound cool).
