    Nadal's choice of idol is very accurate,we can se a lot of Moya in him as well as the opposite,if you play a tennis video game and you can't find Nadal in it,the closest you will get is Moya,and Rublev's idol is Nadal,all that grit to win and agressive game is very accurate,in fact Rublev wants to be so much like Nadal that sometimes for him it's absolutely difficult to accept defeat,that's a champion DNA.

Tsonga , Monfils , Blake ,Malvai Washington ,Yannick Noah ,Arthur Ashe. Felix would have been too young to see the others player so Tsonga and Monfils were the only ones he saw play.

Here, hurkacz is playing against roger rn and see how well hes doing. He NEEDS to improve his second serve. And ive seen his serve video and the problem could that his using a grip thats going more towards an eastern one than the normal continental. That causes problems with the pronation and adding spin to the ball in general.

    I started watching tennis in the early 90's. I loved to watch Agassi, he was clearly the number one for me. Also like to watch Pat Rafter because of his serve and volley game was unique. Kuerten and Rios were also players I followed closely. Later on when Roger started to play I was immeadiately a big fan. No1 makes tennis look so effortless and elegant. I respect Rafa and Djoko aswell but for me there's no question who is the best player of all times. Prime Federer in mid to late 2000's was untouchable, clearly the most dominant player ever and seemingly he didnt even had to try 99% of the games. He raised the level of tennis to where it is now, im not sure whether Djoko and Rafa would have became this good if they didnt have Roger there to overtake.

    My most memorable childhood experience was when Goran Ivanisevic won Wimbledon in 2001. Before I actually enjoyed watching Boris Becker and Justin Henin (still the best one handed backhand in tennis hostory in my opinion). After that - even though if it's boring - it's Roger until this day. I really enjoyed watching Wawrinka as well, basically most one handed backhand players, probably because I have a one handed backhand myself.
