I hope Action Jackson won't mind it if I'm going to run this poll this year again.

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: 2012 MTF Top 10 Favourite Active Players (9th update in #514)

eden, it's high time you developed an app or something :)

e.g. one basket with all players, with dynamic filter to find your picks easily, second basket to order up to 10 players, and a formula to add points to each players tally.
The player list can be scraped off the ATP site.
Would actually be a marketable app for mobile and pad (ads).
