Favorite active tennis players

A combination of who is the most interesting to watch, and who I enjoy rooting for.
1
James Blake
James Blake
Explosive game, comes up with really spectacular shots, not a great server so lots of rallies, good guy. Kind of like rooting for the Clippers though -- rarely comes through in the big matches.
2
Rafael Nadal
Rafael Nadal
Insane level of intensity, incredible footspeed and endurance, plays with honor but also plays with aggression
See the full review, "The greatest grinder in the history of tennis?".

Roger Federer

Andy Roddick

5
Fabrice Santoro

Known as the magician, not a lot of physical presence, but incredible talent and variety, and a great shotmaker.
