There are those in the game blessed with talent or with unmatched ambition who drive themselves to reach the highest levels of the sport.

But the best commentators haven't necessarily been those players. There are those that perceive the game better than others without necessarily being more skilled.

Here are some players we'd love to see commenting in the sport right now.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

Incredibly personable and charismatic, Tsonga would do well in a lot of public capacities.

Considering the level of talent and insight that he possesses, he could well end up being a great commentator for the sport.

Marcos Baghdatis

Few players out there seem to enjoy themselves on court more than the Cypriot. He can often be seen with a furtive grin and never gets down on himself the way that, say, Andy Murray does.

With his laid-back personality and easygoing charm, Baghdatis would be a fun person to have analyzing and poking fun at those that take themselves too seriously.

Andy Roddick

While he hasn't had as successful a career as many would have hoped, his interviews have never been anything short of brilliant. He has a dry, scathing wit and never lets reporters get away with asking banal or pointless questions.

If he could analyze and present questions as well as he receives them, he could be the next McEnroe.

Novak Djokovic

While his antics haven't always been well received by his fellow players, the Serb has a great sense of humor and feel for timing.

Look for him to possibly go the way of commentating when all is said and done with his career, or maybe even get some supporting roles in comedies (though tennis players are rarely well known enough for that).
