Who is your favourite never-top-ten player?

Amongst current players, I would go with Tommy Paul and Aslan Karatsev. I am excluding young up-and-coming players like Nakashima, Michelson, Fils etc. because they might make the top 10 someday.

A few have mentioned Dolgopolov and one of my favorite Indian Wells memories is watching him beat Nadal in front of a raucous crowd outhitting him with leaping 2HBHs to the Nadal FH wing. Also I am partial to Vijay Amritraj as I watched him live a few times as a kid when he was a local hero.
 
As of recently, I only like one third of the Big Three, and Del Potro and Nalbandian. And all of them are retired.
So I don't have any names for this thread.

From today: Focused Kyrgios and Bublik. They can be very entertaining players to watch. I also like Davidovich-Fokina.

Retired: Tim Smyczek, Feliciano Lopez.

We liked you a lot better when you were just good at cross country skiing at some obscure distances.

Come on. Without dynamite you wouldn't even have an flat surface to play soccer or tennis. And now you all of a sudden decided to become good at big sports.

That kind of attitude takes a toll on our friendship!

Haha!
We're also pretty good at dark, dark heavy metal!
 
Carl-Uwe Steeb, because thanks to him, what promised to be an uneventful Davis Cup final turned for me into 24 hours of jubilation and joy.

I was 15 when I started watching a Davis Cup tie in which victory for the Swedish team seemed a foregone conclusion. Steeb came back from a 2-0 set deficit against Mats, who was playing at home on red clay. What a thrill!

A match played without the damned tie-breaks and respecting that notion of tennis on clay, at present lost, of admiring the most physically and mentally resilient player. This notion may not sit well with most tennis fans, and it has undoubtedly increased the number of people who think this way. Once upon a time, this idea was held in high esteem among Spanish speakers of my generation and previous generations.

JJ Wolf - guts, hard graft and the ability to hit left handed forehand winners.

Dustin Brown - pure unadulterated entertainment. Plays with a smile … Rublev take note.

Marcos Giron - nuclear forehand and coached by the excellent Karue.

Botic Van De Zandschulp - for the best name ever seen on a scoreboard.

A Dolgopolov - been said already … cannot take your eyes off him.

If only he wasn't the most inconsistent player around and had a joke of fitness and stamina. He would have been a top-10 player for many years.
