I will explain: basically, I support and root for all the British players but my elite [absolute favourite players] are: Murray, Boggo, Mackin, Baker, Fleming, Slabba and Emily Webley-Smith. The reasons why these selected players have received this ultimate honour: Boggo was the first British player [besides Tim and Greg] who I really started following and supporting, I've followed his results since August 2001, Murray was the 2nd - I started following him in July 2003. I think it'd be best not to go into the reasons why Webley-Smith is in there, I'm sure most can guess Murray and Webley-Smith aside, I have direct or indirect contact with all of those players in there and run websites for all bar Webley-Smith and as Bladetiger can testify, when you actually get to know a player and start chatting tennis more and more with them, you end up following their progress more keenly. The same with Kate Flory, she didn't really used to be a big fan of Nadal but since she's started working for his official website [and actually achieved the dream of millions of teenage girls worldwide and met him in person at least twice] she's become such a Rafanatic that her presence even on Murray sites is quite rare.

Surely this can't be right???? Last time I checked Nadal was the ugliest man on the tour apart from Stepanek. I certainly cant think of any teenage girls who would lower their standards to the degree where it is their dream to meet him LOOL.
