VOTE: Player of the week - Last 16, Leg 1

Renato Vugrinec won with a coalition, not a niche: 61% men, 39% women across his 978 votes. Timur Dibirov, just 11 points behind, pulled from one direction only — 600 men to 120 women, an 83% male crowd. Reach split this race more than persuasion did.

The order itself froze early: Vugrinec passed the day-one leader on day 2 and the gap held near 42-to-31 for the next 29 days without budging. Buried in fourth place, Renato Sulic drew the most devoted voters of anyone — 37% of his backers were self-declared fans, triple the rate behind any other name on the ballot.

• Gender gap · Runner-up's voters were 83% male versus the winner's 61%.
• Locked in · Margin barely moved for 29 straight days after day 2.
• Most loyal fanbase · 4th-place Sulic: 37% fans, far above any rival.
• Even split · Sulic's crowd was the only one split near 50/50 by gender.
