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 :)

4 Lleyton Hewitt (Favorite #1 ever)
5 David Ferrer (Fighter, emotion on court)
6 Nikolay Davydenko (One of the best games to watch, funny guy)
7 Marcel Granollers (emotional, smart on court tactics, mental giant)
8 Janko Tipsarevic (quite a drop for me this year, still outspoken and emotional)
9 Olivier Rochus (love his game, seems a nice guy)

Always nice to see reasons being included :yeah:

How many times it's allowed to vote here? :shrug:
Once.

Half of Nadal's fans got banned when fighting crazy fedtards who were dancing on his injury. What do you want us to do now? :confused:
I seriously doubt that Rafa only has 4 fans on the forum ;) Who of his fans are banned? Only CD and SG come to mind.

Del Potro at #3. Disgusting.
Because he is a classy and nice guy compared to Andy Mugray, who shouldn't even be in the top 100 favorite players.

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

Djokovic

In no particular order:

Davydenko
DelPo
Rafa
Gasquet
Muzza(Off court)
Isner//Benneteau
Dolgopolev
Haas//Andujar
Lodra//Federer
Sorry, but you already voted on earlier in the thread ;)

Djokovic.




Nadal
Isner
Del Potro
Ferrer
Davydenko
Gasquet
Harrison
Dolgopolev
Tipsarevic

I got banned. For nothing. When fedtards were unbearable. On the day Rafa withdrew from Olympics. I decided not to read GM at all and haven't done that for several months. I am sure that is what all other Rafa's fans do now.
Do you really think the atmosphere on GM is different for fans from other players?

There are tards from all fanbases on the forum who make it unbearable to read certain posts and threads.

But this is not the thread to discuss this ;)

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

I have a technical question.

If our votes are going to be tallied up and represented on a year-end list, are we allowed to include players who retired earlier in the year?

I know they're no longer "active", but they are a part of this year's poll, so I'm not totally sure what the verdict is.

Thanks.

Thanks.
All currently retired players have had their votes transferred to the "Favourite retired players"-thread. Especially for Roddick this proved beneficial, the points that gave him a distant 11th place here were enough to fight for 1st in the (less popular) retired favourites thread.

In short, votes for retired players will not count in this thread.
