The Broadcast Boys, boasting over 1.5 million followers on TikTok, caused a stir at the Miami Open by posing a seemingly innocuous question to top tennis players: “Who is the most handsome ATP player on the tour?” However, the resulting list sparked debate and raised eyebrows among fans and players alike.
During their rounds at the Miami Open grounds, the Broadcast Boys engaged players in lighthearted banter, including Grigor Dimitrov, who attempted to guess the top pick. While Dimitrov entertained guesses of his own inclusion, the ultimate revelation that Tommy Paul topped the list came as a surprise to many, including Dimitrov himself. The dominance of an American player at the top spot led to speculation about the demographic makeup of the Broadcast Boys’ followers.
However, upon sharing the list online, dissenting voices emerged. Many fans questioned the rankings, suggesting that players like Karen Khachanov or Matteo Berrettini should have claimed the top spot. Other notable omissions, such as Jack Draper, Borna Coric, Arthur Fils, and Andrey Rublev, further fueled the debate.
Comments such as “Next time ask people with eyes” exemplified the backlash, casting doubt on the judgment of the Broadcast Boys’ followers. The controversy surrounding the list highlighted differing opinions on attractiveness within the tennis community, with each fan and player offering their unique perspective.
