Hehe. I'm not sure if you were mate. I think Slicer is there too for that. We must see the top ranking of each one, I'm not sure. What was yours and Slicer's top ranking? :wink:

Well this poll is very interesting. I'll refer just to SIM sorry I can't judge either REG (I just started now recently getting interest for it) and female I don't have any interest and I don't understand enough to say. However as it has been said here it's very unfair, I think, that Thierry isn't here. He won 24 titles last year if I'm not wrong and I think 2 grandslams and about 9 masters series titles in the past two years. I think the thing to compare times it's correct too. I play since 2005 and I played all the best players and I can assure that, well I speak only for SIM, the level is much higher today. Players know much more tricks of the game, know to deal better with the errors and bugs and have better tactics.

Sunny thank you very much for including me there^^ I feel honored believe me. You know my opinion already about this subject however.^^

Well if I vote for someone I would vote for Ced on SIM and Rafa on REG. Female I'm sorry but I don't understand enough of the game to judge it.

i think slicer must have won at least one title he reached number five or so and i reached only rank number 6 or 7.
yes you are right he didn't won a title, but anyway cristianspin also never won a tittle it would be about us 3 competing for that "honour". i can't recall if sha won a tittle, if not put him up there also.

I'm sure Slicer has no titles because when he told me that I completely was stunned I had no idea. I didn't know cristian didn't have a title too. Sha didn't too.

Rafa is getting my attention. Amazing hold on the reg tour for PC.

Nope, no titles for me. :oops:

My highest ranking was fifth or so yes.

May i just add that if Rafa wins more then 103 points at the masters cup and paribas open he will take the itst point record away from Ced.

This poll is a joke.

Why?

Where the **** is dave82? Yeah ok you may say he's never held the no 1 ranking but being a great champion and embodying the highest values of the itst such as humbleness, fairness and the ability to show dignity in defeat bring him into GOAT contention, hands down.

humbleness, what have you smoken?

And I must remember that Ced didn't play the Australian Open because in 2005 there wasn't SIM yet when the Australian Open was played. :shock:

Yeah CED certainly is *the* pc player, he was the guy that took the sim game to another level, he was so clutch in big matches and constantly beat formidable contenders like Rastaman, Roger, Jimbooo, Fed, and so on. He was the man when the ITST PC tour was at its peak.

I'll never forget that 5 setter I once had with him around 2 years ago at Bercy, the moment he'd won the match it struck me that this Frenchman is the real deal in terms of biggest PC player ever. Shame that he retired.

No doubt in my mind that the best player ever in reg is Vince and I would say followed by fred belin.
Norberto H could play fantastic tennis at times but not as consistently as those 2.

I go with this.

Mecir is sort of a Professor in terms of Top Spin and that's why I will second his opinion.

I'm portuguese, I voted for Ced, but as I said, if it was only referring to REG I would vote for Rafa even if he kicked my ass today.
