Alcaraz is obviously up there, but since he's so young and started his career a few years ago, I decided not to put him. I also wanted to show some of the older players. Honorable mentions: Sampras, McEnroe, Dimitrov, Fognini.

can't believe you didn't show Kyrgios's tweener lobs against both Nishikori and Karlovic. For honorable mentions, do you think Cuevas could be one?

[@theepistemiccafe]

Have you seen Alcaraz make a semi-tough volley - me neither. His drop shots have great touch, yet his volleys are bricks for some reason. McEnroe should replace the convicted woman beater at #3

[@dontsayitisntbecauseitis3845]

Safin: No. He was all power. Nalbandian: Fair pick. Kyrgios: Treating your whole career as an exhibition match that you don’t want to be in, and then having the internet treat your highlights reel as evidence of what every shot would have been like if you could be bothered, isn’t ’talent.’ All others on this list have been no.1s; except Nalbandian who hit 3. Kyrgios never troubled the top 10. Rios: Silky, but I think there’s a degree of racism here: seeing him as some swarthy, moody, latin-blooded Zorro type. Federer: Probably correct. Sampras should have made the cut. He’s the only guy with the all-round chops to stand with Federer. And John Isner, obviously.

I feel like Nalbandian should've been number one, or Kyrgios, because you can tell how Federer has put in the work and the training, while on the other hand Kyrgios has definitely not. He quite literally appeared at the 2018 US Open with his team staff being ONLY his girlfriend. Nalbandian once showed up to play roland garros coming from a 3 month trip on the pacific ocean, no previous training, no nothing, just pure talent.

“Talent” isn’t the right word. If you wanted to say “entertaining” or “effortless” then go ahead (and add Fognini) but “talented?” What constitutes talent? Isn’t redirecting 140 mph serves a talent? Some of these guys are not good returners and someone like Djokovic or Nadal should be higher in that case. Isn’t shot placement a talent? Footwork (Kyrgios has very lazy footwork)?

[@PedroRodriguez-vf7xl]

En los 70 y los 80's habían jugadores con mucha muñeca y mucho talento y con condiciones mucho más difíciles para demostrarlo, como por ejemplo la raqueta de madera y su poca superficie de impacto y su mayor peso. Como por ejemplo mcenroe, y aún así lo demostraban. De la lista estoy de acuerdo, siempre faltará alguno pero los que has puesto son de lo mejor que ha habido. Aunque pienso que en años pasados también hubo mucho talento, y sobretodo en lo que es el juego del gato y del ratón de la volea, que prácticamente es lo más complicado del tenis. Si no díselo a muchos jugadores de hoy en día que suben a la red y parecen un pato mareao, como es el caso de Djokovic.
