Welcome to the 2013 MTF Favourite Active Players Thread.

Like always you have to name at least 5 players or votes won’t count.

It would be much appreciated if you would include reasons for your decisions but it’s not a requirement.

Of course you can only vote once for the same player.

Please make sure before you are going to vote if you have already mentioned your players before.

It's easy to check if you have already posted in a thread: Just click on "search this thread", advanced search and write down your name under "search by user name".


Here is how the points will be distributed:

#1 = 10
#2 = 9
#3 = 8
#4 = 7
#5 = 6
#6 = 5
#7= 4
#8= 3
#9 = 2
#10= 1


Hopefully many people will participate :)

Re: 2013 MTF Top 10 Favourite Active Players Thread (First update in post #125)

Can we close this thread already? It's clear Federer is winning this stuff.
Litotes wrote a very good answer to this comment but unfortunately deleted the post.

This thread is not about one player and therefore it is called the Top 10 Favourite Players Thread.

I think it is always interesting to see which players people like.
Most of the time you just know about one or two players they seem to support or dislike.

It's very close in here between players when you look at the points and I'm curious how the results will be at the end of the year.


Dmitrov in front of nadal??
Not anymore right now.

Is there going to most hated thread?
Action Jackson usually starts the Most Disliked Players Thread.
