I don't watch Tennis too much and in fact, I only follow one player and have done for about a year and a half now.
She has yet to win a Grand Slam and has only won 2 titles in WTA in her whole career, but I love the way she plays and on her day, she can beat anyone.
Her name is Wang Qiang and today she beat Serena Williams in the 3rd Round of the Australian Open 6-4 6-7 7-5! Last year Serena beat her 6-1 6-0 in the Quarter Finals of the US Open.

I'm so proud of her:


Does anyone else here like tennis and who is your favourite player(s)?

I follow Tennis through my obsessed sister that constantly talks about Federer

I'm a Nadal fan, one that admittedly cares little for 90% of stuff they all do
Some players are interesting, most aren't and watching isn't as fun as some other sports. It's also a bummer living in a country where the only actually good sports player is Djokovic and I'm not rooting for him

I rarely watch Tennis but I love Tennis video games.

Ive been playing Sega's Virtua Tennis series since the Dreamcast days.

Really, the joker is a great player and seems to be a good guy.
Nadal has a great game but I think the utter dominance on Clay hurts him in some folks eyes as they think less of the surface.
Federer is ofc, just crazy.
His win today typifies the men vs women game. Coco at 15 killed the defending champ, Qiang beat Serena and he rolls along as he is pushing 40.


As to the op's question
Jimmy and Chris. are i think my all time favs.

I used to be a huge Tennis fan when you had Kim Clijsters, Henin-Hardenne, Elena Dementieva, Daniela Hantuchova, now I only watch Wimbledon mostly.

And either Federer/Nadal, I don't like Djokovic
