Who is your favorite grand slam champion of the noughties?

15 men became a grand slam champion in the 2000-2009 decade. Who is your favorite champion now that this decade is coming to an end?

Murray

oh wait...

Can't believe I'm gonna say this, but Sampras.

Murray

oh wait...

:haha:

Federer of course!

Hewitt, Safin and Rafa.

Sampras

Del Potro, then Djokovic, then Roddick.

Guga, Ivanisevic, Agassi and Sampras.

Roger Federer, no other man came close.

Goran, Marat, Guga

Ivanisevic/Johansson/Costa/Ferrero/Gaudio/del Potro

:retard:

Ivanisevic >>>>>>> Djokovic

To give Novak his own option and Goran not is shameful.

Nadal's Wimbledon 2008 my favourite GS win of decade closely followed by Ivanesevic's Wimledon in 2001.

Can't believe I'm gonna say this, but Sampras.

:eek:

Wut? What about your beloved Valencian?

I had no idea you liked Pete more than Juanqui. :p

Djokovic:)Was refreshing to see other players than Fedal in the finals;)

Defo Roger Federer. Sampras a close second.

But by the end of next year, it'll be Murray.

Sampras and I believe I say this.

Guga, Sampras, Djokovic, Ferrero

el ":cat:"

Sampras by far

Pistol Pete....though he was pretty crap by 2000(by his terms anyway).

Sampras, Nadal and Federer are the best players of the noughties, but the favorite grand slam champion just depends on who your favorite player is I'm pretty sure.

Federer/Nadal
Del Potro
Gaudio

pistol pete is the best........i will see who among federer, nadal, delpotro, djokovic, murray can dare to dream of winning a slam when they are way out of their prime.......

FedGoat by far, no one cames close even in this poll ;)

The slams that were won against the odds are always the most memorable.

the GOAT of course.

Safin not winning the poll on MTF. :(

JesusFed

Ivanisevic by a mile...

the GOAT of course.

He hasn't won a single Slam since 1969.

Agassi >> Nadal

Murray (the intelligent brother)

:lol: :worship:

My favorites: Sampras, Nadal, del Potro

Roger Federer takes the cake in my opinion. He has such an amazing game. He gets my vote.

This guy has got red for posting this alone. How messed up are some people :rolleyes:

It's got to be the Fed. He simply stands out
from the rest of the pack.

Mark:worship:

Should be obvious.

Roger, Rafa, Juanqui.

[EDIT] And Guga, of course. Can't believe I forgot to mention him!

Djokovic followed closely by Nadal.

The worst Thomas Johansson

Fantastic, made clay court tennis a true art form and a great guy as well. Come back man :sad:

safin and del potro, but props to roddick for snagging one.

I don't want Kuerten to come back and play like a disabled guy like he has done for years.

I know I didn't mean come back really I just miss the days of him making clay court tennis spectacular, now it's dead apart from one defensive moonballer and a load of hard court players playing the same game.

Marat of course! :angel:

There were so many good clay courters not that long ago, how things have changed.

you are really funny.
ivanisevic desirves his own field. i am sure he would be in top of the votes.

Ivanisevic >>>>>>> Djokovic

To give Novak his own option and Goran not is shameful.

that is fantastic retarded.
goran's wimbledon is away ahead of his AO.
also goran made much more in his career.

Should be obvious.

Simply classic. Would have been my favorite if not for the 2008 Wimbledon final.

Loved Guga...but Rafa's wins: priceless.

king in the castle, king in the castle:worship::worship:

i agree to an extent that there are not many good clay courters around these days but i will just have to ask you which sport are you watching when you say nadal is a defensive moonballer........

his style is defense based extreme offense.......the fact that he retrieves better than anyone in the history of the sport somewhat shadows his offensive capabilities.......laver, vilas, borg, lendl, kuerten were all great artists on clay but rafael is simply one of a kind, an extraordinary genius on clay.......i doubt if we will ever again see anyone who plays like him, especially on clay.......

Roger
Gaudio
Hewitt

The two best clay courters since Borg.

has to be safin!!!

Voted Federer, but actually I couldn't choose between him and Safin.

Ferrero >>>>>>> Djokovic
JC former No.1 st least. Nole? Never been No.2!

Ivanisevic >>>>> Djokovic as well

To give Novak his own option but Goran and JC not is shameful

Who do you think?

On performance results definetly, but as this thread is about current popularity I can understand. Fact is that those at the top of the current rankings are often better liked than those former champions that have slumped (with the exception of Safin). And considering Ivanisevic is retired, I can understand somewhat. (but I totally understand what you're saying in my biased opinion)

Who do you think?
My favorite is Delpo, then Rafa, then King JCF.

I don't think your opinion biased. I just think Chokovic is overrated.

You mean Rafa and Roger, right?

I think he means the one that beat Rogie on one leg

Exactly, and Guga. :D :hearts:
Roger who? :scratch:
