Juan Martin del Potro - 10% Champion
Roger Federer - 10% Finalist
Rafael Nadal - 30% Semifinalist
Novak Djokovic - 10% Semifinalist
Andy Murray - 30% Round of 16
Gilles Simon - 10% Third Round

The majority picked Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal and is now three of ten. We are now batting 30%. The Shanghai poll will be next. I guess the wheels are coming off quickly, but we can make it back to 50% if we guess correctly for the rest of the season.

On the bright side, Rafael Nadal won the topless poll with 53, and Nicolas Kiefer is in second place with 38%.

There are some tennis polls some readers have pointed out and felt outrage at some the choices in these polls. I have received recent requests from readers over the week to do a proper topless poll. In light of the recent weather developments at the Open, I thought I would give you a treat.

I have gone to through the tennisfiend photo archives to compile a list for my fellow tennis fiends. By no means is it a comprehensive list, as I do not have photos of everyone. This poll will also be a tribute to the many of the fallen and the few who remain in the tournament that is steadily coming to a close this week despite the weather.

So, please participate in a proper poll of the ATP’s finest. Since this is a scientific poll and it may be hard for you to choose just one, we are going to do this one Chicago style -- so vote early and vote often.

Update: The formatting in IE is messed up. If viewing this post in IE , the pictured are as follows from the top to the bottom: Rafael Nadal, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Gilles, David Ferrer, Nicolas Kiefer, Marat Safin, Juan Monaco, Viktor Troiki, Nicolas Lapentti, Evgeny Korolev and Frank Dancevic.

The majority calls it for Rafa, and the sentimental favorite is Nicolas Kiefer. Let's see how we do.

You picked Spain to win, but Russia was the sentimental favorite. We will see if you all are right in December.
