Whos your favourite tennis player?

[Ripper]

Roger Federer, of course, but Justine Henin Hardenne is up there, too, even if a women.

 

[TheRazaman]

All-time: John McEnroe Reason: YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS! not to mention the absolutely beautiful volleys.

Current: It's a split between Fed, Nadal and Hewitt.
I love watching Federer because he is a true artist on the court and can win with any style.
I also love watching Nadal because he is, as everyone now says, like a raging bull. Full of energy and just grinds a player down with brute force.
And of course, i've always liked watching Hewitt because the man has always seemed like an underdog to me. Never really had any great weapons but is the toughest guy i have ever seen. Not to mention he has The Eye of the Tiger (altho, its currently docile for the moment)

 

[baros]

current- hrbaty just be cause of his amazing fitness he could play all day in 90 degree weather if he had to he's amazing.

all time- becker i just loved his playing style and his talent.

All time: Rios
Now: Safin, Federer

I somehow like tormented geniuses. I never really expected federer to make it this far. He used to be so exciting to watch. Now its all about winning and the curse of 14 slams.

 

[flymeng]

All time - Jeff Tarango. Because his wife slapped the umpire. :mrgreen:

Current - Nicolas Kiefer. Because he threw his racquet in the AO.

 

[istobita]

I enjoy Safin on a day-to-day basis; Nalbandian when I feel a bit crazed, and Federer when I repent.

So:

Mon-Thurs: Safin
Fri, Sat: Nalbandian
Sunday: Federer

 

[jjames]

sampras-he spanked "overrated" agassi in virtually every big match. even in his final match, he showed agassi to be the "choke" he is.

 

[dewey2110]

current : Nadal
all-time : Sampras

 

[hari2]

Curent :
-Federer
-Safin
-Gasquet

T-A-L-E-N-T

Past:
-Rios
-Rafter

 

[Polaris]

Current: Safin

All-time: Zivojinovic

Old Slobodan had a mean serve. But I have to ask you which TV channel allowed you to watch Zivojinovoc long enough to come to like him . I only saw him play a couple of matches in a Davis Cup tie against India many years ago.

 

[Deleted member 6835]

blake, because of all the stuff he had to get through to get to where he is (even racism). lots of other players had to go through tough paths, but i just love blake

and of course, who could NOT like federer?

 

[RadekStepanekTheKing]

sampras-he spanked "overrated" agassi in virtually every big match. even in his final match, he showed agassi to be the "choke" he is.

:mrgreen: what a joke :mrgreen:

 

[donnyz89]

my current is my all-time since I havent been on the tennis scene for long...

federer-all around
safin-talent, power
coria-speed

 

[killertubbie]

Federer, Roddick, Agassi

 

[kaz_lopez]

All time Fav: It's a toss up between: McEnroe; Borg; Vilas; Edberg
Current Fav: Feliciano Lopez

 

[SGrosjeanFan]

This is hard but I would have to say Agassi is my favorite player of all time. He's fun to watch and never gives up.

My favorite player right now is Sebastien Grosjean. Even though he doesn't go all the way to the quarterfinals or semis, he's really fun to watch and amazingly good looking!

 

[stoneagle]

Nadal, i like that pure energy and power game.

 

[kreative]

All-time:
1) Edberg - greatest tactician, crisp execution
2) McEnroe - best hands

Current:
1) Safin - amazing raw talent
2) Roddick (2003) - explosive

 

[Arafel]

Current:
Roddick, Clijsters and Mauresmo

Why: Roddick, because so many people are down on him and I think he's going through a mental slump but I think he has the skills to get back to #2, Clijsters because she seems so nice and has great strokes as well as the unreal split she does, and Mauresmo because she's fun to watch play and finally had her breakthrough at the Aussie.

All-time
Connors first and foremost. Agressive, hit the hell out of the ball, a true all-courter as opposed to baseliner Borg and S&Vr McEnroe, and the greatest spirit I ever saw on the court. He never gave up, and always put his all into his matches.

Others: McEnroe, the tormented genius, Evert, for her amazing resolve and consistency, Austin, for breaking through at a young age, Graf, for sheer ability, and Krickstein, just cuz!

 

[Grimjack]

Old Slobodan had a mean serve. But I have to ask you which TV channel allowed you to watch Zivojinovoc long enough to come to like him . I only saw him play a couple of matches in a Davis Cup tie against India many years ago.

Got to see The Bobo live a couple times. Scary as hell to see that serve coming from that guy. Big and bigger. Yikes.

He's my favorite not because of that, however, but more because I can refer to him as "The Bobo."

 

[william]

All time: Mac

Current: SAFIN!!!!!

 

[Warriorroger]

Current: Roger Federer
Past: Steffi Graf

 

[pound cat]

Next to Safin it's Rios. And he's back too! Played 2 senior's tourney, won them both. Gotta love that brilliant wild man.

 

[Shabazza]

Past:
Stefan Edberg - I grew up watching him play and was probably the only one in my family who did root for Edberg and not Becker during their matches. + He has the same given name as me!

honorable mention: Goran Ivanisevic and Michael Stich
Current:
Roger Federer - I just like his game and personality
Marat Safin - for the OAF he is

 

[Jonnyf]

Roddick and Roddick lol.

I personally like Courier, Muster and JMac as oldies because even at their age groudies wise they werent much worse than Rusedski, Murray, Djoackavic, Bozolovic etc.
