How about "Scud" AKA "The Poo".
Posted by: Lobbo | 07/03/2011 at 08:16 AM
"Big Mac" was much better known as "The Superbrat"!
Posted by: Lobbo | 07/03/2011 at 08:18 AM
Don't forget "Rocket", "Muscles" and the "Sunshine Supergirl"!!!
Posted by: Lobbo | 07/03/2011 at 08:26 AM
@Jenny: Thanks Jenny! Wow I didn't remember that such a thread already existed on the old TP site! - I'll compile all the nicknames to one list (atp players without wta). :-)
Posted by: RafaFan | 07/03/2011 at 12:42 PM
Thanks Lobbo for your contributions! Could you please give me the numbers where I have to put your names??? :-) [Scud, AKA, Rocket, Muscles] Thank you!
Posted by: RafaFan | 07/03/2011 at 12:45 PM
Wasn't Vilas called "The Bull of the Pampas" or something like that?
Chris Everett was "Ice Dolly". (Cougar would be more apt now with her on air admission she cries when Fed loses and is a near stalker).

Juan Martin del Potro - Delpo, the Tower of Tandil
Posted by: Jenny | 07/04/2011 at 07:38 AM

Brilliant work, RafaFan.
I know 'pics' has been attributed to Ferru, but it was never a Nick, that came about through the Mens Tennis Forum because of fans posting pics! Sorry, I should have mentioned this before.
LOL The Matador of Spin!
Posted by: Jenny | 07/04/2011 at 01:25 PM
I have the shirts with the graphics on them. You can't make this stuff up, LOL.
