Battle of the Tennis Players

The Sean

Cricketer Of The Year
Budge.

Andre was fantastic, but I reckon the recency effect and his (well-deserved) popularity is possibly over-inflating him slightly here.
 

Magrat Garlick

Rather Mad Witch
Agassi 4-2 2-3 0-1 (second set had ended on time before The Sean voted)

Third set lasts until 13.12 UTC (four hours and 30 minutes from now)
