My Top 10 Favorite Men's Tennis Players

1. Tomáš Berdych


Berdych is undoubtedly my favorite player. From his pure talent, to his consistent decade amongst the top ten, to his absolute adoration for his family, to his reservedness. Berdych encompasses the ideal athlete.

2. Gaël Monfils

Monfils is perhaps the world's most entertaining tennis player. The Frenchman throws his racquet at a ball, does splits and one of a kind jumps, never giving up on a point. He is and will always be a crowd favorite.


3. Kevin Anderson

Anderson is the epitome of modest. His 6'8 stature towers over everyone, but is balanced with his shy demeanor.


4. Juan Martín del Potro

Like Anderson, del Potro is truly a friendly giant. After several wrist surgeries and dropping from world number 4 to world number 621, del Potro has not given up. He has an unsurpassed tenacity which intrigues all tennis fans.


5. Roger Federer

Perhaps the greatest tennis player of all time, not only because of his grit and talent, but also because of his classiness and modesty.


6. Rafael Nadal

Nadal is a favorite tennis personality. His humor is often accidental, giving him a naive disposition. His speed on court, especially clay is unmatched, and he has never failed to respect an opponent.


7. Stanislas Wawrinka

A powerful player who keeps his composure after every point, with perhaps the best backhand tennis has ever seen. Wawrinka respects everyone, and win or lose, always embraces his opponents after a match.


8. Sam Querrey

Querrey was not on the list until Wimbledon of this year. The American was not highly respected, known to give up easily. However, when he defeated Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon, ending the champion's winning streak and reign, he earned an intense amount of respect.

9. Jerzy Janowicz

Janowicz started from the bottom. Growing up, he could barely afford a pair of tennis shoes or a satisfactory racquet. Still, with persistence, Jerzy rose to the top and is admired for his bravery.



10. Novak Djokovic


Djokovic is known for his ability to come back in a match, no matter how badly he is losing, and is obviously one of the best players of all time. However, he makes the list mainly because of his personality. Djokovic's impressions are some of the best, and always sparks laughter in the crowd.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
