RE: There are no compelling personalities in Tennis anymore (and there haven’t been for years).

Compelling like who for instance?

This bunch is probably the best we’ve been fortunate to see in a while — Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Andy Murray.

Everytime these four walk on the court, it’s a toss up as to who will win. Nadal and djokovich put on quite a show today, no way anyone could be bored.

Even great players in the second tier, Stan Wawrinka, (my favorite), David Ferrer, Jo Wilfred Tsonga, and Juan Martin Del Potro. Stan came so close to taking out Novak.

I am giving serious consideration to going to Australia for next years open.

>>Compelling like who for instance?<<

Connors, Borg, Ashe, Nastase, Mcenroe, Graf, Navratilova, LLoyd.

All were interesting and compelling.

Nowadays, the players are bland.
