Berlocq. he was the best every time he played challengers, in south america and EuropeI'm surprised nobody said Berlocq yet. He really dominated every clay challenger he played this year.
not really.Rui Machado. Saying it's Stebe it's the same as saying Federer was the better player this year because he won the WTF...
It's a poll for the better challenger player, not for the one with more potential. It's like voting Raonic the ATP Player of the Year because it represents the potential breakthrough of a young player... Does that make sense?not really.
Stebe's season was the most significant because it represents the potential breakthrough of a young player who can go on to bigger and better things. That's why he got my vote. It's about impact, not necessarily consistency.
Machado and Berlocq will most likely just have identical seasons next year.
Maybe Stebe will too. We will have to wait and see.
I understand your reasoning and largely agree with it. What I don't understand is how you can vote for Machado over Berlocq with that reasoning however. Your choice is clearly tainted by nationalism, as Berlocq had a better season on the Challenger Tour than the Portuguese.

They had similar seasons... For example, Nathalia whom I don't think is portuguese, has chosen Machado too.I understand your reasoning and largely agree with it.

Incorrect. Berlocq won one title more, has a much better win-loss record, and played 22 (!) matches less in Challengers than Machado.They had similar seasons... For example, Nathalia whom I don't think is portuguese, has chosen Machado too.
