Should we combine the Bryan's or are they individuals in their own rights? I must admit I couldnt vote for one over the other, at least not easily?


 I see where you are coming from but I'd say no.

9 nominations, likely to be 7 places to fill. I have a plan in formulation for how I get 9 to 7 though!
And of course there may be more

 When did the Bryan's last do anything without each other - apart from injuries ? I say allow them as a pair.

 I think in a vote wed all find them virtually impossible to separate and their appeal comes as a pair. Probably the one pair to justify that. 

Nominations so far

Lisicki , S
Sock, J
Bryan Bros.
Jensen , L
Brown, D
Bahrami, M
Coetzee, A

So, the plan is once this current event of favourite foreign former players is done, to do one final poll of polls to end the polling season - or at least end my involvement in them for now!

Next week, I will do a Favorite of Favouritess event - who is the boards favourite of all.

The list is in the order they qualified :

Monica Seles
Serena Williams
Chris Evert
Martina Navratilova
Heather Watson
Beth Grey
Emily Webley-Smith
Amanda Carreras
Petra Kvitova
Elina Svitolina
Ash Barty
Katy Dunne
Jo Konta
Victoria Azarenka
Simona Halep
Garbine Muguruza
Monica Puig
Venus Williams
Virginia Wade
Elena Baltacha
Ann Jones
Laura Robson

Agniesczka Radwanska 

Steffi Graf

 

24 women

and the men:

Rod Laver
Roger Federer
Bjorn Borg
Pete Sampras
Dan Evans
Andy Murray
Kyle Edmund
Joe Salisbury
Stefanos Tsitsipas
Novak Djokovic
Juan Martin Del Potro
Nick Kyrgios
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Dominic Thiem
Tim Henman
Roger Taylor
Jonny Marray
Marcus Willis
Paul Hutchins

John McEnroe 

Ken Rosewall 

Arthur Ashe 

Stefan Edberg 

 

23 men

We have 7 wildcards to be distributed 

 

Current nominations 

Happens to be 8 in total right now. Keen to get views on luke Jensen or jensen bros and Bryan's or bryan bros, I'm very unsure having been very sure. Putting them together as pairs seems appealing and gives me 8 wildcards , if telstar agrees we will have the two sets of bros in as pairs. 

Lisicki , S
Sock, J
Bryan Bros.
Jensen , L or Jensen Bros? 
Brown, D
Bahrami, M
Coetzee, A

Date, K.

Difference with Jensens is that they arent twins and Luke had more of a career outside Murphy. But we do think of them as one, in tennis terms.

The person who nominated Luke, I forget who, I'll let you decide?! Please let me know your preference.

I nominated Bryan's as two but I'm definitely putting them together as they regard themselves as one in tennis apart from injuries getting in the way.

...if I dont get enough wild card nominees I'll fall back onto my own list however and nominate myself!


Yes off hand it's certainly hard to know who hasn't been included in any of these polls Jon! And for me WCs might be close misses in some of these previous events...  


 If you cant remember seeing them, then shout their name and I'll check later. 

 

Despite what I just said, I'll put Lisicki, Kuznetsova,  Sock, Bryan B and Bryan M up for starters then. That's 5! My feeling is I'll need 5 or 6 so if we dont add to this list they'll probably make the cut!


 I'd like to suggest Luke Jensen for a wild card. I'm pretty sure that Kuznetsova was in one of the early polls.


 Telstar, theres a suggestion to make it the Jensens as opposed to just Luke ...I've decided to put the Bryan's in as a pair as opposed to separately. I'm guessing we wouldn't nominate Murphy as a single person , do you wish to stick with Luke alone or make it the pair?
