Best entertainer in tennis??
The Williams sisters say they are not just athletes, but entertainers, determined to put on a good show- not just grind it out ont the tennis court. Who do you think is the best "entertainer" in tennis??

No-one now, the Williams girls give entertaining speeches and interviews but are all business on the court IMO.
Anyway in the past for me, it was Natasha Zvereva.
Always had something up her sleeve  e.g Her Mary impersonations were a crack up! |

Jennifer Capriati. I am always surprised and excited. Especially by the 3 Grand Slams she won, each win was amazing.

Jennifer entertains the crowd today. Many of her victories have been dramatic and they really pull in the crowds. She keeps you on the edge of your seat.
From the past I'd say Arantxa. Compared to Steffi and Monica, she was much more animated and lively on court, always involving the crowds (which is why she is a crowd favourite everywhere!).
Justine Henin's style of tennis is entertaining, especially her backhand shots. You really can watch her all day.

Serena (shows a lot of emotions at times) and Jennifer (always amusing). Put the two together on the court against each other and enjoy......

Martina Hingis. Best tennis player ever, all the shots, the finesse AND the amazing sparkling personality.

Definitely Serena. Venus for her sheer ruthlessness.

Martina vs Jennifer when they were joking about drinking Heineken. But Jennifer in general is entertaining and I love the gasp from the audience when Hingis pulls off one of her shocking crosscourt dropshots when pulled out wide.
