Favourite International Player Vote - Group L
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 17.11 WEDNESDAY

I voted Harri. He seems like a really good chap and has made a brilliant partnership with Henry.

Harri does seem like a very nice chap who also helps Brits win nice titles.

Pity Harri you ended up in a group with Monfils.

Gotta be Gael !

I haven't voted in all the groups as I don't have much knowledge about many of the players, but this group is an exception where I was spoiled for choice. In other circumstances I would have voted for Monfils, Paolini, Naomi and Harri.

Yes, seems a bit of a tough one with only two to go through.

As I said in another thread I too found it tough to find even one in one or two of the other groups, and would have voted for any of these 4 ahead of these I did plump for.

 I think her main problem has been summed up, ie. the strong opposition she faces here.

I guess tennis players are used to rough draws!

I guess its down to luck of draw! I literally went down the rankings and took no view on possible favourites - and some players get caught in the cross fire !

 Oh, I'd say definitely the objective way to do it. Just how the cookie has crumbled

Monfils clear at the top, Harri second just a couple of votes ahead of Paolini.
