The International Tennis Hall of Fame recently introduced fan voting for the Class of 2019. For the first time ever, fans can vote online for who they want to see inducted.

Todd Martin, a former world No. 4 and the CEO of the Hall of Fame, shared his take on the induction process and candidates with Tennis Channel.

The candidates for '19 include Jonas Bjorkman, Sergi Bruguera, Goran Ivanisevic, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Conchita Martinez, Thomas Muster, Mary Pierce and Li Na.

To be elected, a candidate needs an affirmative vote of 75 percent. In the past, the candidates were chosen solely by Voting Group of Hall of Famers, journalists and historians. Now, the top three vote from the Fan Vote will get bonus percentage points added onto their score. The candidate with the most fan love receives three additional percentage points, while second and third place will receive two and one additional percentage points respectively.

Tennis Channel got the exclusive first look at the leaderboard. As of Saturday, Ivanisevic is in first place, Li in second and Muster in third.
