Favourite International Player Vote - Group A
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 16:52 ON WEDNESDAY

I went for Azarenka. I've been fond of her ever since I saw her in a charity match on TV when she came across as very charming. She's also a mother who came back to the tour (and after a lot of personal difficulties), which is always good to see. When she's in full flow and playing big tennism she a lot of fun to watch. I also learned to tolerate her "grunt" when my mum pointed out she sounded like an owl hooting!

Another strong group with folk maybe spoilt for choice. I went for Berrettini just ahead of Azarenka ( who was =3rd behind Kvitova and Barty for favourite overseas WTA player in the contest we had during the covid hiatus ). And I could have voted for Dimitrov if he had been in some of the other groups.

Just an hour and a quarter before the votes start to close; dont miss out if you havent voted and want to, have missed this series of polls and want to take part, or maybe just voted in some of them and feel like completing them all!

16 groups in total, all will be closed to voting between 1652 and 1718

So Group A is finished:

Berrettini wins the group and Collins and Azarenka tie for second.

So Collins and Azarenka will go into a tie break vote off, to be run in a short while
