40 Greatest Players of the tennis era

40. Gabriela Sabatini

If athletes are indeed entertainers, then the impact of Gabriela Sabatini's career can't be measured in wins and losses. From the time she broke through to the semifinals of Roland Garros as a 15-year-old in 1985 until she retired in 1996, there was no greater attraction than the player known simply as "Gaby."

Sabatini's dark eyes and engaging smile won hearts around the world. But it was her flashy one-handed topspin backhand and innate court sense that had her on tour by age 14. At that point, it was a question not of when she would win a major, but of how many. Over the years, though, the challenge of competing against the likes of Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, and Monica Seles proved too daunting.

Sabatini won her first and only Slam in 1990, when she imposed her attacking game on Graf in the U.S. Open final. The Argentine would go on to play her best tennis in the early '90s, at one point winning seven of eight from Graf. The lone loss came in Sabatini's last major final, at Wimbledon in 1991.

In that entertaining match, Sabatini served for the title twice, only to lose 8-6 in the third. The defeat was emblematic: Sabatini was a game competitor, but she often squandered her chances. Still, she reached No. 3 in the world and made the semifinals or better at majors 18 times. Her consistency was as striking as the appealing image that won Gaby her ardent fans. --Jon Levey

39. Patrick Rafter

Of all the game's greatest players, Patrick Rafter may have been the least likely and the best liked.

The seventh of nine children, Rafter turned pro at 19 in 1991, but it wasn't until 1993 that he won the ATP's Newcomer of the Year award. In between, he paid his dues on the Challenger circuit, a place unknown to most of the game's elite. By 1997, Rafter still hadn't reached the quarterfinals of a major. But everything changed that year, as he leapt to No. 2, won the U.S. Open, and, just as impressively, served-and-volleyed his way to the French Open semifinals.

Then again, Rafter's serve-and-volley game was less a style of play than an athletic art form. His nasty kick serve bounced up high, and his astoundingly quick feet put him right on top of the net. Rafter's hands were even quicker-the image that lingers is of him lunging at full stretch to cut off a passing shot and punch it away for a winner.

It's a picture Andre Agassi won't forget. His five-set wars with Rafter were some of the best of recent years. But it's a mark of the respect Rafter inspired that even one of his greatest rivals urged him not to call it quits in 2001. "He's a true competitor, true champion, a first-class person off the court," Agassi said. "The game will miss him when he goes." --Stephen Tignor

38. Virginia Wade

You could almost hear a groan rise over Great Britain when, on the eve of Wimbledon in 1977, England's Virginia Wade vowed, "I'm not going to fold this time." But after making that remark, Wade slashed her way to the title and made Wimbledon's Centenary celebration a truly unforgettable one for her country.

The moment Wade won Wimbledon was as improbable as it was wonderful. By then she was almost 32 and prone to collapsing under the British public's expectations. But Wade already knew something about rising to one-off occasions. Nine years earlier, she had won at her hometown of Bournemouth, in the very first tournament of the new Open era. An amateur at the time, she relinquished her status in time to keep a $6,000 champion's check that she earned just months later, when she won the first U.S. Open.

Raised in South Africa, Wade was a lean and athletic serve-and-volleyer. She was also durable, competing in major events over an astonishing 23-year career that ended at Wimbledon in 1985. By then, she'd won more Open era singles titles (55) than all but six players.

Moody and ever inclined to attack, the dark-haired vicar's daughter loved to pounce on a short ball. She was often described as a "tigress" despite the bouts of self-doubt that helped keep her from winning more than three major singles titles.

But those widely chronicled struggles with confidence helped make Wade's Wimbledon win of 1977 an event that transfixed a nation. With one swipe of her Dunlop Maxply, Wade temporarily wiped away the charge that the British were better at inventing and popularizing games than playing them. Are you listening, Tim Henman? --Peter Bodo

37. Gustavo Kuerten

Guga, as he's affectionately known, wears a perpetual smile and sports unkempt reddish-brown hair that makes you wonder if he just rolled out of bed. When he walks, his 6-foot-3 body bounces like a marionette, arms and legs moving awkwardly, head bobbing up and down.

But the casual demeanor belies his intensity, for Kuerten is a master of the trench warfare called clay-court tennis. Throughout his career, he has used deft footwork, an underrated serve, and explosive groundstrokes to maximum effect on the slow red clay of Europe and South America.

Although Kuerten will forever be linked with Roland Garros, where he's a three-time champion, his defining moment came in 2000, on a fast indoor court in Lisbon, Portugal, at the Tennis Masters Cup. After almost pulling out of the event because of severe thigh spasms and back pain, he went on to beat Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Pete Sampras, and Andre Agassi in succession to win the year-end championships and become the first South American to finish the season No. 1.

"Guga has the vibrations," says his coach, Larri Passos. "We come from Brazil and we need to play everything with our heart." Guga illustrated that sentiment after winning his last French title. Using his racquet, he drew a giant heart in the clay to express his appreciation for the fans who'd supported him, Brazil's lone Grand Slam champion. --James Martin

36. Jennifer Capriati

Most players would be happy with a fraction of Jennifer Capriati? career. It? not just her longevity (13 years on tour and counting) or three major titles they might envy. What? made Capriati? run special has been the drama.

Has any player lived through more dizzying highs and mortifying lows? The best moments include her first tournament, at Boca Raton in 1990, where the 13-year-old came out swinging with abandon and became the youngest-ever finalist in a pro event; her upset the next year of Martina Navratilova in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon; a stunning three-set win over Steffi Graf for Olympic gold in Barcelona in 1992; wins at the Australian Open in 2001 and 2002; and a 12-10 third-set victory over Kim Clijsters for the 2001 French Open.

Despite those achievements, it? the darker stuff fans seem to remember about Capriati: the deflating loss in a third-set tiebreaker to Monica Seles in their 1991 U.S. Open semifinal; her mid-?90s drug use and shoplifting arrest, which made ?apriati? synonymous with ?urnout?; and two more losses in third-set tiebreakers at Flushing Meadows, in the 2003 and 2004 semifinals.

Even if she hasn? gotten that Open title she desperately wants, those last two matches showed what she? made of. Capriati fought, screamed, and cried, but fell just short. ? gave everything I had,? she said after each. When she finally brings the drama to a close, that? how we?l remember her. ?tephen Tignor

35. Stan Smith

At a time when the game was exploding with talent and controversy, Stan Smith stood ramrod straight for tradition. Nobody accused him of being a punk, or fainted at the sight of a feathery drop volley alighting from his strings ? la Ilie Nastase. But then, nobody jabbed a finger at him either, shouting, ?heater! Showboat! Jerk!?

As a heavy-footed youth in Pasadena, Calif., Smith set his ice-blue eyes on an unlikely prize: a Grand Slam trophy. He was a slow learner, but he sprouted to 6-foot-4 and developed a thundering, straight-ahead game suited to the grass courts on which he realized his dream, at the 1971 U.S. Open. Smith was 24 by then, most of his fine blond hair had gone the way of his teenage acne, and he confided that he concentrated so hard during play that he often got a headache.

The runner-up at Wimbledon in 1971, Smith went all the way the following year. It was only fitting, for Smith was old guard all the way, right down to his immaculate whites and brilliant Davis Cup r?um?. He shares the record with Bill Tilden for playing on the most Cup-winning squads (seven), and his three-win performance against Romania in the 1972 final on a clay court in Bucharest, where he overcame a whole bunch of cheaters, showboats, and jerks, ranks as one of the game? greatest achievements. ?eter Bodo

34. Lleyton Hewitt

It? nice to have a role model. Think, for a moment, about where you? be if Lleyton Hewitt, the scrappy kid from Adelaide, Australia, who has no discernible weapons other than his tenacity and determination, never crashed the tennis scene as a teenager to beat much bigger, much stronger opponents. Without Hewitt, you? be stuck with models like Roger Federer and Pete Sampras, players of unmistakable but unattainable genius. Hewitt gives us all hope that we can overcome any obstacle through the sheer will to win. His combativeness was never on more brilliant display than in the 2003 Davis Cup semifinals in Melbourne. Down two sets to Federer, Hewitt staged a rousing comeback, punctuating every winner with his trademark ??awwwwn!? By the fifth, Federer was beaten into submission. Two months later, in the final, Hewitt added another ??awwwwn!? moment when he defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero in five sets to help Australia win the Cup.

Hewitt is cut from different cloth than the Aussies of yore. His in-your-face ?ude owes more to the crudity of Jimmy Connors than the class of Rod Laver. Fittingly, his first major title came on Connors? stomping grounds, at the U.S. Open in 2001. Later that year, when he won the Tennis Masters Cup, Hewitt became the youngest man?nd the first Aussie?o finish the year No. 1. Although he? had his share of struggles since, Hewitt hasn? given up the good fight, and never will. ?ames Martin

ok sambung.....   the top 40 list

33. Hana Mandlikova

If talent were the sole criterion, few players of any era would outrank Hana Mandlikova. This silky-smooth Czech had a game full of rich tones and colors. She appeared in eight Grand Slam finals (winning four) in the 1980s, despite laboring in the shadows cast by two icons, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.

Mandlikova played with a stylishly complete arsenal of strokes. Short crosscourt backhand passing shots? No problem. Driving ground strokes? Piece of cake. Lob-volley winners? Been there, done that. But percentage tennis was not her forte. A shot-maker at heart, she often succumbed to the temptation of trying a crowd-pleasing winner instead of a safe shot.

Ginger Rogers once described Mandlikova? legs as ?he most beautiful I?e ever seen,? but it was Mandlikova? high-risk style that made her so exciting, and infuriating, to watch. When she was good, she was spectacular, winning as easily on clay as on fast indoor carpet. When she was bad, ball boys, linesmen, and even spectators found themselves dodging misfired bullets. In keeping with her unpredictability, Mandlikova won every major but the one suited to her attacking game: Wimbledon. Evert beat her in one final, in 1981; Navratilova in another, in 1986. But those rivals didn? always have the upper hand. On the way to the title at Roland Garros in 1981, Mandlikova handed Evert her first loss there in eight years; in 1985, she won the U.S. Open while becoming only the fourth player to beat Evert and Navratilova in the same event. ?ony Lance

32. Tracy Austin

Tracy Austin appeared on the cover of World Tennis at age 4. At 16, she earned almost half a million dollars on tour--while still collecting an allowance of a buck a week from her dad. By the end of her truncated career, she had provided the sport with a definition of the word "prodigy."

The youngest of a tennis-mad California clan, Austin wore pigtails as a pro, but her blond locks, two-fisted backhand, and steely nerves led many to dub her a Chris Evert clone. In truth, she was feistier and more aggressive, unnerving her role model and, for a period, everyone else in women's tennis.

Austin was 14 when she first locked backhands with Evert, at Wimbledon in 1977. Evert steamrolled her that day, but it didn't take Austin long to exact revenge.

On a rampage in 1979, she snapped Evert's famous 125-match clay-court win streak and won her first major at the U.S. Open, ending Evert's four-year reign in New York. In 1980, Austin became the only woman to wrest the top ranking away from Evert or Martina Navratilova between 1975 and 1987.

Austin's career could easily be summed up with the phrase "youngest ever." She's still the youngest woman to win a professional title (14 years old) and a U.S. Open title (16), and she was the youngest to become No. 1 (17) until Monica Seles outdid her in 1991. Sadly, Austin was also among the youngest champions to retire. A lower-back injury effectively ended her career when she was 20. Her star burned for just six seasons, but it burned with an intensity rarely seen before or since. --Peter Bodo

31. Justine Henin-Hardenne

Celine Dion is one of her favorite singers, but don't let that fool you. Pound for pound, the 5-foot-6 Justine Henin-Hardenne is more hard rock than easy listening.

Oh, early in her career people called Henin-Hardenne mentally fragile, a choker, you name it. But the lithe native of Belgium adopted a gruelling fitness regimen that fuelled her confidence and put the final touch on her transformation into one of the toughest competitors since Jimmy Connors.

Henin-Hardenne showed her moxie at the 2003 U.S. Open. In the semifinals, she battled Jennifer Capriati for 3-plus hours before winning 7-6 (4) in the third. Less than 24 hours and one IV drip later, she returned to Arthur Ashe Stadium looking fresh, and beat her compatriot Kim Clijsters for the title.

But it would be a mistake to think of Henin-Hardenne as just a gutsy fighter. She's also an artist on the court: Her footwork is balletic and fluid, her inside-out forehand is as potent as any woman's, and no less an authority than John McEnroe has called her backhand the best in the business. That combination of killer instinct and beautiful shot-making is what sets Henin-Hardenne apart. --James Martin

30. Arthur Ashe

It's easy to take the measure of Arthur Ashe: He was the tennis player who mattered.

The images of his big serve, his whiplash backhand, and that silver canoe-paddle racquet are growing faint, and even the highlights of his shocking win over Jimmy Connors in the 1975 Wimbledon final look a little dated. But the one part of Ashe's career that isn't fading is his legacy.

Born in July 1943 in Richmond, Va., Ashe suffered a heart attack in 1979, contracted HIV through a blood transfusion in 1988, and died of AIDS in February 1993. At a time when athletes were increasingly self-centered, he set a new standard for the sportsman as role model. He was a latter-day Virginia Gentleman--an exemplary sport, a social and civil rights activist, a scholar, and an author. And he made it seem that he was all those things partly because he was a tennis player, rather than in spite of it.

Ashe represented a breed of tennis pro that has since become extinct. He graduated from college (UCLA), served in the Army, and dropped everything when Davis Cup duty called. Straddling tennis eras, he won the U.S. amateur and open championships just weeks apart in 1968, Year One of Open tennis. He also won 27 Davis Cup singles matches, but the capstone of his career was the 1975 Wimbledon final, a strategic masterpiece in which he upset the heavily favored world No. 1, Connors. --Peter Bodo
