Sid_Vicious

G.O.A.T.
Federer
Hewitt
Safin

Honorable mention: Roddick. I would I have put him over Safin, but his game is extremely boring and tedious to watch now. I miss the times when he used to hit forehands at Del Potro-esque pace.
 

SoCal10s

Hall of Fame
Laver.. because he gave me one of his racket when I ball boy for him
Segura.. because he a tennis genius
McEnroe.. because he can do so much with his touch
Mecir ... looked like he didn't do anything..

Hall of Fame
Hewitt
Safin
Federer (more so from 2003-2007)

Not sure why, but I've always been a massive fan of Joachim Johansson as well. Could you imagine if the Pim Pim from the 2004 USO played the delpo from the 2009 USO. Would be baseline bashing at its finest :D
 
Favorites

Roddick

Any massive server

Federer (his playing style has never been appealing to me, and probably never will. So utterly boring...)
Mayer (oh so ugly)
Hewitt

1) Federer - the most successful player with the most beautiful game in tennis history. He's also infact the most relatable champion I've ever known not just in tennis but in all sport.

2) Edberg - poetry in motion, how can you not appreciate a game as fluid as his?

3) Philippoussis - my favourite "big" server

Honourable mentions-

Safin - Because he's the definition of cool, the funniest tennis player ever.

Gasquet - Backhand!!!

Djokovic- Epic Nadal beatdowns. :lol:

Legend
1. Nadal (for his power, his passion and for his demeaner on and off court; by closely following his career, I've enjoyed learning so much more about tennis and the pros who play it)

2. McEnroe (the guy who got me into tennis - loved his aggressive serve and volley game, his touch at net, his various rants and raves and his infamous nose-thumbing at Wimbledon, LOL!)

3. Federer (love his style, pure class, no one is like him)

Connors is squeaked out at 4th - now THERE was passion on court!:)

1. Fed
2. Borg
3. Sampras

Had TV coverage been stronger in the 60's, Laver would be #3.

"Dislike" is a word synonomous in my vocabulary with "disappointing". Those 3 were/are:
1. Nastase
2. Safin
3. Gulbis
 
Favourites:

1) Federer (nuff said)
2) Rafa/Querrey (I met Querrey personally, and I like Rafa as a person)
3) Dolgo/Ferrer (I love Dolgo's serve, and Ferrer is the nicest guy on the planet)

Least favourites:

1) Murray (I watched a match in 2008 where a little kid went from the top of the stadium to get a hat signed, and Andrew took it, threw it to the ground, and left)

2) Berdych (I was in cincy, was in a group with like 10 people wanting to get an autograph, he signed something for everyone but me. Then, I asked him directly with no one else around, he said no, and left to take a picture with someone. It might have something to do with my RF hat)

3) I don't really have a third, I like a lot more players than I don't like

Hope it is not yet another GOAT debate but a matter of like/dislike someone's game.
If it is all-time then: Laver, Borg, Federer
If only actual players then: Federer, Novak, Dolgopolov
