Hey guys! Just out of curiosity, I wanted you to ask: who are you 3 favorite tennisplayers and why? I started this a little bit in the thread: delicious Coria on pictures!!!! But they advised me to start it somewhere else, so...here it is So tell me I'll teel mine first:
1. Guillermo Coria ['Cuz he's really good and raelly cute!! ]
2. Tim Henman [He's also very good and when he's not playing against Guille I'm for him ]
3. Martin Verkerk [He's a very good dutch tennisplayer and he smashes every serve with 200 km/h (STANDARD) over the net Very cool! ]

[star]

My top two favorites are:

1. Guga Reasons are obvious, I think.
2. Guille I like Guille a lot but Guga will be my favorite until he doesn't play anymore. I love Guille's game. I loved it from the first time I saw him play. I fell in love with Guga's game in the same way.

After that I have a bunch of players that I like pretty much the same, but I like them quite a lot. Andy, Lleyton, Swedish players (but PimPim and Jonas best)

1) Roger Federer, I love his game, and he's a great person as well
2) Guillermo Coria, he's just lovely. He already was my 2nd fav, but I like him even more since last saturday
then there are many more players I like, by example Clement, Kuerten and Ivanisevic

[iloveguille]

1. Guille
2. Guille
3. and Guille!

Seriously...1. Guille (because HE IS the REASON I watch tennis! Love everything about him)
2. Nadal (so inspiring. I can see him as No. 1 player one day)
3. Paradorn Srichaphan (same country with me...nice smile and a nice gentleman!)

So now I knew where R U from

[Micca]

iloveguille, your reason for watching tennis: I COULDNT AGREE MORE! I watch tennis because I like it, but THATS ONE HELL OF A REASON!!!

[iloveguille]

El Mago jr, didn't go back in 'pray for rain' so didn't see your question. Do you play tennis?

[Guille's Girl]

1. I won't have time for the other 2...Guille. Why? Pfft, well hell, he's the strongest, most dedicated, devoted and determined player in the whole frickin' circuit. He maintains what he does without taking any kind of supplements and that's like-...wow. He works off his own strenght alone for cryin' out loud. He's been through hell and back to achieve so much. The kid never backs down from a fight and never gives up. Die hard I swear. Plus he's hot

[iloveguille]

MiCca, I don't think I missed his matches (if televised, that is) since Monte Carlo last year. If I travel, I ask someone to tape the matches for me. Also have his picture with his autograph so I can see every morning when I wake up...Talking about crazyyyyyyyyyyy, huh?

yeah sometimes I do play....
but I enjoyed watching it on tv even more especially when Guille's playin'

[gina_]

1. Lleyton Hewitt: Lleyton was the player who got me interested in tennis. I still love his style of play- he's intense, fiercely competitive and there's always a kind of whip to his strokes that are just awesome to watch. He's got such mental strength and courage and there's just so much passion in him. He never has a boring match.

2. Juan Carlos Ferrero: Juanqui is just so nice. He's humble, sweet, loving, understated and such a fighter. He runs his socks off, he's kind to everyone around him and he has a real kind of quiet dignity. I remember when he lost to roddick at the US open finals and his eyes were moist and so sad but he was so dignified in defeat. Thats something I really admired about Juanqui; he's got such a good heart. And of course his cross court strokes are wonderful!

3. Guillermo Coria: Guillermo is just perfect. I mean he's not perfect, he has his flaws, but his flaws are so part of him that they do seem perfect to me. He's sucha lovely person, so open, honest and simple. He's not all interested in glitz or the fame game. He's so incredibly sweet to his family, his wife, his fans. I love his persistance on court and how he goes for every ball. I love that he plays on surfaces he's bad in and how he never ever stops trying. On court, he's stubborn and intense and acts stupid but you know...that's whats endearing to me about Guille. He just doesn't give up. And of course, his strokes are so inventive and he's so quick, he amazes me all the time! And not to mention that wicked drop shot and trickiness to his game.

That was long but in tennis- you win some, you lose some. And so personality comes into a big factor of the game...and after a while I still admire their tennis skills but a part of them kinda grows on me too because they're really nice people. Personality is what makes me a fan of these 3 players; i can admire other players but my heart, my passion and soul goes to these 3.

1. Guille Reason: All your Arguments in one (my prince of Tennis)
2. Guga Reason: He's an awesome player, who I learned to like because of my mother, who's fave player Guga is. I love Brasil! (Is that a reason?) And he has this very lovely Tatoo...
3. cannot decide... I have to choose between Mr. Henman and Mr. Federer...
ok, 3. Federer
4. would be Henman then

[Agassi Fan]

1. Andre Agassi: He is the best! :-)
2. Tommy Haas
3. Guillermo Coria

[tennyfan]

Rafter - still in mourning over his retirement
Agassi - Plays with his heart. Love the way he thinks through each game.
Coria - Same as Agassi. Plays with his heart, dissects his opponent and exposes his weakness, love his competitive spirit and how he never gives up.
