AND THE TOP 5 MEN...
RAFAEL NADAL
French Open champion 2005, ’06, ’07,’08, Wimbledon champion 2008.
Australian Open champion 2009. Wimbledon runner up 2006, ‘07.
The 23 year-old from the island of Majorca has long been revered as one
of the greatest ever clay court players but last year’s titles at Queen’s and
Wimbledon showed his brilliance on grass. He moved to the world No.1 spot
last August after winning the Olympic gold medal in Beijing.
ROGER FEDERER
Wimbledon champion 2003, ’04, ’05, ’06, ’07. Australian Open champion 2004, ’06, 07.
US Open champion 2004, ’05, ’06, ’07, ’08. Wimbledon runner up 2008,
French Open runner up 2006, ’07, ’08. Australian Open runner up 2009.
Despite the disappointments he has suffered at the hands of Nadal, beating
Pete Sampras’ record of 14 Grand Slam titles still figures prominently in the mind
of the 27 year-old Swiss who spent 237 consecutive weeks as the world No.1.
Going into 2009, he has been victorious in at least one major event for the
previous six years.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC
Australian Open champion 2008. US Open runner up 2007.
Together with women’s players Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic,
this 22 year-old is at the forefront of the exciting wave of players
who have established Serbia as a tennis nation. Last year’s Wimbledon
saw him lose prematurely in the second round but he was runner up
at Queen’s Club.
ANDY MURRAY
US Open runner up 2008.
Second only to Nadal in amassing ATP tour titles last year, the 22 year-old Scot
continued the trend in 2009. Last September in New York he became the first
British player to appear in a Grand Slam final since Greg Rusedski 11 years earlier
and by March had already won as many titles as Tim Henman did throughout his
entire career.
ANDY RODDICK
US Open champion 2003. Wimbledon runner up 2004, ’05.
US Open runner up 2006.
The world’s fastest server is now 26 years old and intent on improving an
exemplary record at Queen’s Club that has seen him lift the cup four times.
Fitter and lighter than he was a year ago, new coach Larry Stefanki is
confident British fans haven’t yet seen the best of the American.
ONE TO WATCH
GRIGOR DIMITROV
If the promise of this strapping 18 year-old is anything to go by, Bulgaria will be the
next emergent Eastern European nation. A year ago he won the Wimbledon junior
singles title without dropping a set, despite suffering from an injured shoulder.
He is currently coached by the Swede Peter Lundgren, who used to fulfil a similar
job with Federer and declares: “This kid he is better than Roger was at his age.”
