What's your favorite player of all time?

Notice that it says "favorite" player, so i´m not asking for the best player in your opinion.

I've got 2

Kafelnikov

Ferreira

and btw i do think Federer is the best player of all time to this day (don't know what will happen with Rafa in the next 4-5 years, or in 20 years with another player), and i´m not saying he's the best now, cause he's clearly not the best, he's at the end of his career

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

:)

PS : And i also was a big fan of Goran Ivanisevic, Kuerten, and Kafelnikov...
And i soooo liked how Chang made Lendl crazy on that 1/4 at the French!...

EDIT : I gave those names cause they are the 1st to rush in my mind... But after thinking again, i remember how i liked Edberg, Becker, and Pistol Pete of course... After M.J., Pistol Pete was the 2nd athlete whom i woke up for in middle of night to watch one of his match... (the 3rd was Rossi, and 4th was Roger... :P )

for me it's federer im mean 16 majors aside his is beautiful to watch he may have lost to murray in shanghai but no one has dominated da game of tennis with such beautiful free- flowing tennis federer is the tennis equivalent of FC Barcelon, it's like roy jones, ali, lenoard they didn't just reach da pinnacle of their sport they did it with style and that should be commended if you at the direction that the mens's game is going might be the last elegant player unless, gasquet and dimitrov fulfill their potential the end of federer's career makes the end of a era period of time when it was preached to play the game at certain way mc'nroe edberg, haas, araazi, santoro, sampras rafter, lenconte, noah llodra,Ilie Năstase, Miloslav Mečíř

I started watching tennis around 2002 so I didn't have the privilege to watch any of the past players prior to that. But for me, it's Federer all the way. I mean the style and grace he plays the game is just sublime. Even now where his career is "winding" down. It's still beautiful to watch. I watch youtube highlight reels of federer all the time. There is literally a million shots of him hitting impossible shots of which is just beautiful to watch and its not like that with other great players such as nadal, murray, etc. Just the way he moves is classic and timeless.

oh, and that guy hewitt i like. (2nd fav)

For me it's 100% Federer. He's the Michael Jordan/Wayne Gretzky of tennis in every way, just a freakishly naturally talented player who always knows the right thing to do and when to do it and never, ever gives up.

Gustavo Kuerten - GUGA

Before getting hurt, at the top of his career, he chewed his opponents.
