Who is your favorite under-the-radar entertaining player to watch?

See title. I'm enjoying throwing on old matches or highlights while cooking dinner these days, YouTube is a wonder.

Who are some of your favorite players and matches to watch for entertainment value?

Bonus for them being a player who isn't as well known (i.e. not Kyrgios)
More bonus for providing a specific match
even more bonus for providing a HQ video link

 

[dumb-person]

Hurkacz if he decides to play offensive and approach the net.

 

[zvelf]

Almost no one is more entertaining than Hsieh Su-Wei.

 

[Third Serve]

I like watching Kohlschreiber play from time to time but he gets mentioned so often as an “under the radar” guy that he’s very well-known lol

 

[Hamnavoe]

Prime Tomic:

Also Dolgopolov but I'm not sure he counts now that he's retired.

 

[Thriller]

I don't know that a former world No. 1 counts as under the radar but nothing cheers me up more than a Marcelo Rios showreel.

 

[skaj]

 

[Rago]

Berdych; clean hitter of the ball.

 

[Hamnavoe]

I like Jabeur on the women's side, she doesn't seem to get much attention.

 

[Kralingen]

Berdych; clean hitter of the ball.

I'm convinced if you showed Berdych highlights to someone who had never seen the game that you could easily convince them he is GOAT

I enjoyed Bogdanovic's groundstrokes on grass.

 

[junior74]

Pospisil

 

[skaj]

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

stich and Krajicek were fun to watch. Amazingly talented

Two Wimbledon champs are hardly under the radar.

Lorenzo Sonego is fun to watch.

Lorenzo Sonego is fun to watch.

If you watch him on mute, I agree with you

Richard Gasquet looks very promising, very nice backhand, under my radar since 2006.
His hair loss is a bit worrying although.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Berdych; clean hitter of the ball.

Off the radar since 2019.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Pella

 

[bnjkn]

Lopez.

 

[Aabye5]

Hurkacz if he decides to play offensive and approach the net.

Beat me to it

 

[Aabye5]

Dustin Brown

 

[spottishwood]

karlovic

 

[fundrazer]

Of current players Nishioka is one that comes to mind for me. Counter punching isn't my favorite style to watch, but I find his game entertaining.

 

[Tshooter]

It appears that on TTW all but The Big 3 are “under the radar.” And the jury is still out on Eggvax. Maybe if he wins the CYGS.

 

[Bubcay]

This was one of the funniest moments in tennis history, when Zivojinovic beat McEnroe (with a bagel in the last set) in 1985 after having a sandwich in the stands during a match while McEnroe was arguing with the referee.

Dusan Lajovic. One of the most beautiful one-handed backhands in the game.

 

[James P]

Kind of moderately under-the-radar, I really love the gritty play of ADF.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Depends on definition of Under the Radar.

I like Ruud a lot…Does he count?

 

[Dane_is_Finnish_OJ]

Kind of moderately under-the-radar, I really love the gritty play of ADF.

Who is that?

 

[James P]

Who is that?

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Top 40 player from Spain.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Watch the Tomic- Federer match (2012 AO). It was suprisingly entertaining. Tomic was very good when he was younger and actually tried.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Nalbandian Hewitt AO 2011 R1 is also a very good match. Incredible shot selection from both, angles. It has everything.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Lord Gulbis of course! Currently ranked 189 but if there was any justice in the world, he should be #1.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Djoker.

 

[Rago]

Gonzalez, Verdasco, Lopez

 

[game..set..match]

definitely Cuevas.

 

[Red Rick]

Fabio Fognini.

Very often he's responsible for some first week 5 set epics

 

[Dane_is_Finnish_OJ]

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Top 40 player from Spain.

Thanks, I've seen him. Quite the fighter.

 

[Kralingen]

Nalbandian Hewitt AO 2011 R1 is also a very good match. Incredible shot selection from both, angles. It has everything.

One of my favorite matches ever.

It’s such a crime that the best mid-2000s matches seemed to be filmed in potato quality. Even watching some big Federer Slam matches I can see the ball about 20% of the time. Really disappointing.
