Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer or Andy Murray?

[Beatrice35]

Who is your favourite tennis player out of these three- Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, or Andy Murray? Why?
As for me, adore Rafael Nadal- Vamos!! Yet, also support Andy Murray!! Just not happy when they play one another as am torn!! Find Federer brilliant yet boring- like watching a robot play tennis. Like the passion that is displayed by Murray + Nadal!! So hoping either Rafa or Andy win the Australian Open. Would love to hear your views. Hugs, abrazos, saludos a todas, Bea :-)

Anyone but Murray

[Beatrice35]

Why? Like Murray. Okay he was a little stroppy earlier on, yet, now he is more polite + smiling more+ more mature- even all the journalists are acknoweledging this fact/positiveve change in his personality. He plays with much flair on the court, too. He is still only a youth anyhow. He is GB's best chance of being a grandslam winner since Fred Perry, too!! Vamos Rafa!! Yet, also, come on Andy!!
Hope some Murray fans + Nadal fans + even Federer fans join in this debate. Big hugs, un gran abrazo, Bea :-)

It would be difficult to forgive Murray for his remarks about the English football team during the last world cup. When Scotland were knocked out he was asked if he would back the English team. His answer was that no, he would back anyone but the English team. So I would back anyone but Andy Murray.

Murray.....OK he has worked hard and deserves his successes, BUT he is a Scot with zilch personality and his interviews are monotonous and he never smiles...........sense of humour, I do not think so, but compare interviews with Nadal and Federer. He has worked hard on his tennis but will have to work harder on his PR if he wants to be accepted by the UK public,particularly the English.
Will never forgive him for saying that he will always support the other team when England play football.

He is working harder on his PR. Have you heard him in his interviews in Australia for the Oz Open- he is much better. He has personailty, too. Are there any Murray fans here? Nadal is lovely- agree on this!! Hugs, Bea :-)

Roger Federer is a true gent, in the same mould as Ken Rosewall and Pete Sampras. It's always pleasurable when the nice guy wins.

Dave- delighted you joined in here :-) Like the players who are not just brilliant yet entertaining like John McEnroe, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Boris Becker + Andre Agassi :-) Rafael Nadal is a true gentleman, too :-) He also is the most stylish player- love his clothes on the court + off the court + he speaks two languages- Rafa is just pure magic in every single way! Of the women, liked watching Justine Henin Hardenne, former player Arantza Sanchez Vicario + all the feisty current Spanish players :-) Un gran abrazo , a big hug, Bea :-)

DaisyMae- he was joking with the football remark. Yet, did not bother me as not interested in the football in the slightest anyhow( unusual for most Brits). Also, he was fed up of them talking about another sport instead of concentrating on the tennis. Yet, he has since apologised for this off the cuff comment. He is young too + even younger when he made that comment. Give him a chance please DaisyMae- have some patience. Besides, would it not be fantastic to have a British tennis player holding up a trophy at either Wimbledon, Australia Open, French Open or the US Open- really really excited about this prospect!! Prefered Tim Henman as a person yet he was a nearly man + Murray has a real chance of winning one of the 4 major tournaments. Wish everyone would give him a break + enjoy his sublime tennis, too. Hugs, Bea :-)

Over the moon that Rafael Nadal won The Australian Open. Fantastico!! Watched the whole match on T.V. It was fantastic!! Rafael Nadal is a true champion, too!! Kept shouting along with my husband Vamos Rafa! We would have loved to have been there- the atmosphere would have been electric!! Have been to Wimbledon 2- that was awesome, for sure too! Hope Rafa continues at the top for at least another 5 years as he is pure joy to watch!! Hubby said the best man won- he sure did!! Still rooting for Murray as well this year :-) Rafa' El Torro'(the bull) Nadal is superb - a real genius on the court + a real gent off the court :-) Abrazos, hugs, Beatrice :-)
