It's usually easy to figure out everybody's primary rooting interest, but I'm curious about people's favourite tennis players beyond their major allegiance (s). Women's side, too, if you want.
I'm revising mine:
1) Federer/Nadal
3) Zverev
4) Kygios
5) Gulbis--the giant condor forehand is gone, replaced by a topspin number, but now he doesn't know what to do with his left hand so it just sort of dangles at his side.
If I had to pick between Roger and Rafa, it would be Roger by a 1/32 of an inch, but it is really too close to call.
Female Top Five
Sharapova
Kuznetsova
Kontaveit
Mladenovic
Ostapenko--with a bullet--definitely on the rise
Actually the guy I should have put on my list is Dustin Brown. He's pretty consistently entertaining, win or lose. Then Gael, then Fog, so Monfils is still easily in the top eight.Boo. Ugh. Tennis shouldn't force your eardrums to explode.
And no Monfils? Shame!
