Male tennis players and their taste in films



I found these throwaway ATP films actually pretty revealing. Ivan Ljubicic, thanks for upholding the intellectual side of things with your love of depressing Russian films.  Rafa can't pick a favourite because he likes so many, A Rod gets sucked in every time by Shawshank (but hey, who doesn't?), Gilles Simon loves Troy. Nole thought Slumdog Millionaire was brilliant.  Gonzo always wants a comedy so he can relax and not have to think too hard.

Apart from this, these men LOVE Gladiator. Clearly it resonates with something deep in a tennis player's soul. Swords, sandals, oiled thighs. Ah yes, Gladiator, I love it. Braveheart comes up a few times too, which I find completely inexplicable. 

Roger's favourite films are "action films" such as Rambo, James Bond, Top Gun... and Dirty Dancing.
