Favourite International Player Vote - Group D
Permalink  

So recently, I ran a favourite British player vote, which Jake Fearnley won.

In Covid times, I ran lots of polls and one of them was to find the favourite International player - for the life of me I cant find who won it! But a lot has changed since then with the Big 3 and Serena all retiring. 

 

So, I thought I would give it another go and see what the current board members think our favourite overall international player is!

128 players - 64 men and 64 women (NO BRITS!). Top 56 singles players in each of the men and women, top 8 doubles players in each. 

16 groups of 8 - the top 2 will get through from each group. If there is a tie, there will be a vote off.

From the second round of 32, 4 groups of 8 will be formed and 8 will proceed to a final.

This first vote will run 2 days as there are a lot of groups and will close at 5PM on Wednesday. That will allow the ties to have play off votes that evening.

Semis will run Thursday morning to Friday night; final will run Sat morning to Sunday night 

Each group as 4 men and 4 women, Organised based on rankings. I simply went through the list and allocated, so no favouritism, but the top players are kept apart. Each group has 7 singles players and 1 of the doubles players

Enjoy and if you vote, say who you vote for to allow the voting to keep alive and active!  

This is about your favourite and not who is best - but let us know who is your favourite international player!

VOTE WILL CLOSE AT 16:58 WEDNESDAY

Swiatek doesnt appear to have much of a fan base in these parts!

If youve voted in some but not all, why not try and cover all the groups; youll need to work through A to P to see what youve voted in and what you havent !

 Tbf there's a couple of groups where none of the players are sufficiently in my consciousness to really be a favourite over the rest. I ended up plumping for someone and voting in.all groups but actually I kinda feel there was a good argument for me having just not having voted in these groups and leaving it for these who did truly have favourites there. So I can understand some folk just not voting in one or two groups. Come the post round one stages I imagine folk will then always have a player they want to vote for.

This group was fine for me. I voted for Elina.

 Its a fair and very reasonable point! And probably explains the differences in voting across groups that we often see at the end!

Just realised, Indy actually ran the favourite international players polls in Covid, separate ones for WTA and ATP.

Petra Kvitova and DelPo won them - sadly both arent defending their titles from March 2020!

Ha, those had passed from my memory.

Certainly huge turnover in a few years. None of the men who received any votes in their final is in the 2025 line-up. Azarenka ( =3rd behind Kvitova and Barty ), Gauff, Jabeur and Osaka from the women did receive final votes.

Svitolina walking away with this group, Musetti a perhaps surprise second place.

Musetti is only 1 vote clear of Kenin, Swiatek one more vote further back. No idea how many more votes will come before c5pm, so this could prove quite an interesting finish

Group D is done and Svitolina wins it.

At the death, Kenin comes back and earns a tie with Musetti and they will also go into a tie break vote off later on
