TSR Tennis Society IV

People complaining to the BBC on Twitter about the amount of swearing from the players? Andrew Castle's commentary is more offensive than the language being used by the players.

I'm sorry this is completely unrelated, but who's your favourite player(s)?

Have some respect ffs sake

Look at what the guy's achieved

Djokovic is my fave I just respect the way he's been able to carve out such a great career in the era of Nadal and Federer, plus I figure he needs all the fans he can get with almost all tennis fans either loving Rafa or Roger then hating Djokovic for spoiling the party.

Having said that I have a soft spot for many players including: Murray, Jo Wilfried Tsonga and (shockingly) Nadal but I would love to see Novak beat Rafa in the RG final, if that happened in 5 that could top Wimbledon '08

That's fair enough, I'm starting to develop a soft spot for Djokovic too for the same reasons why you liked him in the first place. Some fans will do anything to prop up their favourite players if it meant slagging off another player unfortunately.

Tsonga is one of a select few that has beaten each of the big four I believe? As much as I'd like to see some one beating Nadal at RG, I also want to see how longer this dominating run on RG from Nadal continues to be honest. So it's win win for me to be honest

How about on the WTA?

Thanks for sharing, I couldn't remember if you told me or not

I don't have a clear favourite on the WTA there are so many players that I enjoy watching but I feel fall short of their potential a lot like Kvitova and Lisicki. I'd love Halep to grab a slam and of course respect the great Williams sisters. One for the future could definitely be Madison Keys, she played great at Eastbourne last year and seems to be pushing on again this season. As much as Bouchard is a talent something about her puts me off a bit but she has the game to go far.

With regards to Rafa would be incredible if he gets to 10 at RG but he can share can't he? Let Novak have it this year then continue as he was from next year!

My favourite at the moment is Simona Halep - I would dearly love for her to win a Grand Slam. For me she's a breath of fresh air compared to the countless number of power players on the WTA as she wins points with precision and incredible timing rather than sheer power alone. She reminds me in some ways of my favourite female player of all time, Justine Henin - an elegant, precise player with so much fight. Lisicki is another of my favourites, but she's just so inconsistent it's hard to take the disappointments of every year.

Bouchard is great, but I can't really get behind her for some reason. It might be because I get a Sharapova vibe (not in character, she's much nicer than the Russian) but the whole tall attractive blonde fawning that gets on my nerves. Madison Keys really made a breakthrough this year. Definitely the future of American women's tennis, which she seems to have wrangled from Sloane Stephens.

Rafa and a 10th RG would be obviously phenomenal, but I'd trade an RG for another Wimbledon personally. It's been so much pain for the past 3 years seeing Rafa fall before the final.

I like Lisicki! She's the epitome of confidence making or breaking her though, I really wanted her to win Wimbledon a few years ago when she went on that amazing run. Keys is one for the future and I'm a fan of Bouchard, she's got a great game and will only get better. I don't necessarily like Serena, but respect to where respect is due, she's a champion of the highest order.

It'd be good to see Novak get the career slam, but it's Nadal at RG... Like I said, it's win-win for me

In terms who I like, I guess I root for these guys a little more than everyone else, but I just want to watch a good match to be honest.
Mens: Del Potro, Nadal
Women: Bouchard, Lisicki, Sharapova (although the screaming can be hard to put up with )

Edit: Just realised that the WTA I like are all blonde, sorry Sirocco1

My favourites probably break down as follows (though, like you, I don't mind as long as the tennis is great and I don't have to watch Fognini)
Mens: Federer, Murray, Djokovic, Nishikori, Raonic, Nadal
Womens: Kvitova, Serena, Venus, Radwanska, Halep

I'm sorry but Bouchard does not have a great game. She's just averagely consistent which is why she obliterates the lower players and then gets demolished by the top players.

The only reason she got to the Wimbledon final is because Halep was injured.
