I went for Mardy F, great name for a start but more importantly he battled and made the most of his talent and his body to do ok at this sport.

I voted for another battler against injury, and very good player, Tommy Haas. Finally retired in 2018 just short of his 40th birthday, 16 years after he was WR 2.

Only players I've seen here in real life, in the flesh, was the Bryan's at the O2 a few years back. I think they lost that day.

Out of interest, has anyone seen Mansour Bahrami play in the flesh?

 Yes, several times. He often appears at Wimbledon late in the day on the show courts when the maches fininish early. Very entertaining, but each match follows a similar pattern !

An eclectic mix but everyone has received at least one vote. The 3 joint 2nds are on 3 votes so everyone is still in it.

 I've also seen Bahrami quite a few times-mainly in the annual vets event at the Albert Hall. He has the most incredible skills all displayed with the deadpan air of a real comedian. He missed the prime years of his tennis career through being banned from leaving Iran. Without this, I suspect he could have won many titles. I wonder whether his natural successor could be Dustin Brown?

Bahrami's autobiography is gripping and a real eye-opener - I thoroughly recommend it.

I'll look out for that book.

If we had a doubles with 4 great skills players, bahrami, brown, mongols? Whod make up the 4? Kyrgios? Nastase?
