Interested to hear what players people like watching in the mens. My personal favourites are Federer and Tsonga. Also like Davydenko, Simon, Del Potro.

I like watching pretty much all the mens players though.
 
Off the top of my head and for varying reasons. ;)

Current: Roddick, Tsonga, Haas....

Past: Rafter, Safin, Edberg (only caugh a few of his match tho, he was a bit before my time, lol)...

In general tho, give me a marathon high quality 5-set match (remember Roddick's one 23-21 in the last) and I'm there. Doesnt matter at all who is playing!!!

Enjoy watching Gonzalez/Davydenko live the best.

On TV though, Rafa is by far the best to watch for me. Federer just cruises through every match, not entertaining to watch after a while IMO.
 
Most of those guys I like, but especially Fed, Nadal and Hewitt. Don't mind James Blake either. I guess what he went through a couple of years back I developed a soft spot for him.

Don't really care about Murray, Ferrer.

I loved Marat Safin. He was such a character, his outbursts were hilarious. Every match you knew there was a chance he would lose his temper.
 
monfils, a nic nat on the tennis court. 190km/h backhanders down the line from being out of position and using a sliding maneuver to get into position that he so regularly does is amazing.

Most white players couldnt buy that much exotic power on their serve and would be more than happy with a 175km/h one.

Agreed on safin, I always liked him for some unknown reason even though i hate people that whinge aka Roddick, Federer etc.
 
Federer is clearly the best player to watch if we're strictly talking tennis. The epitome of an all-round player capable of playing on any court with no weaknesses. I'd list Davydenko as my second favourite if I had to list someone else, but I enjoy watching anyone that isn't overly defensive or a big serving one trick pony.

Remeber a few years ago when Safin got a bad call and he was talking the the chair ump said something along the lines of:

"I didn't insult you, your ears perhaps but not you"


Absolute Gold.
 
Federer easily. Maybe its not cool anymore to like him, but I can't get enough. I'll sit through 90 mins of him destroying some can because he looks so damn good doing it.

Chose Nadal, plays every point like his balls are on the line.

Also enjoy watching Federer, Roddick, Djokovic, and to a lesser degree Del Potro, Verdasco and Gonzalez, in fact most of the top mens players

Used to love watching monfils play.. so much natural raw ridiculous talent, but now I don't like him... will end up wasting his career away because of pea-sized determination
 
Roddick, Davydenko, Blake, Hewitt and Federer for different reasons. Love

Roddick's serve and always some entertainment with his attitude in his matches

Davydenko because he takes the ball so damn early and flat, pretty to watch that kind of ball striking.

Blake, you know what you are going to get, love his aggressive forehand when on.

Hewitt, such a fighter and champion, provided me so memories over the last 10 years

Federer, just so skillful, so many shots he can play. Got to see him live for the first time today.

And Guccione for comedic purposes.
 
Yeah Davydenko has the most perfect footwork Iv ever seen. I also have to agree with the person that said they liked watching Fed destroy people.
 
I have to go with Rafa, just love the way he approaches each match, from the warmup routine to the charge onto the court, through to the ridcoulous amount of spin he puts on the ball.

Close second would be Murray, partly because of my part Scottish heritage and partly because of the amazing drop shots he plays at times.

Going to be conflicted when they play each other in the quarters, although will also be riveted.:eek:
 
Federer by far. He always comes up with some amazing shot. Santoro was also pretty high up on the list before his retirement. Djokovic also plays a very attractive brand of tennis.

LMAO :D

Safin was quality player and you would always be entertained every time you see or hear him also When he was playing I loved Gustavo Kuerten - anyone remember Guga

Today I love watching Novak play since I watched him live in Adelaide the year he won the tournament (it sucks not to have it here anymore :mad::(!) After that would be Verdasco as his tennis is just as good to watch as he is :D Another play I liked but I am so fustrated by him in so many ways is Thomas Berdych - has all the tallent in the world but zero self belief.....wish I could knock some sence into him
