Okay other than my hate for Tomic and for who ever plays him, it is Duckworth!

Stefan Edberg amazing player he actually got me into tennis when I was a kid. Silky player no-one comes close in my eyes but that's just me.
In the modern game I like to watch Gilles Simon and the fed express.
Julia Goerges
Alize Lim
Eugenie Bouchard
Donna Vekic
Favourite Umpire - Eva Asderaki
Andre Agassi for me. The bloke is an absolute legend of the game. Humble, great court technique, punches above his weight, and a terrific ambassador for tennis. Gotta hand it to him; 60 career titles including 4 Aussie open wins, Wimbledon, US open and a gold medal at the olympics
Out of the big 4 I'm a Djokovic fan (except for Feathergate). Was a really fantastic year from him yet again, except for those 3 losses.
Unfortunately allowed Nadal to get into his head after those failed smashes at RG, and didn't recover until the Asian swing.
I honestly think it was a rather limp year. Djokovic-Nadal battle for No.1 was interesting. But Murray was a little disappointing, won the big one, but only really did well at a handful of tournaments. Federer and Ferrer started to show signs of decline. Del Potro remained inconsistent. Berdych did nothing. Tsonga was injured. The top 10 tenants in Wawa, Gasquet, Almagro, Tipsy are all headcases.
Raonic did show a little something late in the season. If he can avoid a few months of ordinary play, should be top 10 by August next year.
The young generation are so limp though. Tomic and Dimitrov both won their maiden 250 titles, but there were a lot of poor efforts in there as well. Tomic is so listless outside Australia/Wimbledon, and Dimitrov hasn't quite worked it out yet. The flipside was seeing some decent resurgent years from old favourites like Haas, Robredo & Youzhny. Even Hewitt had his best year since 09/10.
In all honesty, Fognini's hot month was the only thing to really shake things up a bit in 2013. Robredo making 2 GS QFs was hilarious though (including a demolition of old conquerer Federer).
The controversy around Troicki and Cilic (the last guy you would expect) also didn't help.
Yeah will be good to see a recycling of the top players I guess. Cos the gulf in class amongst all of the others underneath the Big 4 isn't that variable. But I just don't think we'll see a standard of tennis that we've seen recently with the likes of Fed, Nadal and Djoker.
The likes of Delpo around the number 1 spot is kind of offensive to all those in that position in past eras. They are miles behind in class.
