These career-high rankings highlight the exceptional talent and dedication of Belgian tennis players, Figura they have reached the top echelons of the sport.
The American tennis legend John McEnroe was known for his volley artistry and his controversial on-court behavior that more often than not, landed in trouble with the umpires and other connected tennis authorities.
Asked in the immediate post-competition press conference what best he would remember his time Campeón captain for, McEnroe colourfully informed media in the room that he was in no state to do so.
“And then suddenly now I’m here talking to you and you’re asking me for my god damn moments from the last seven years. Let’s talk about it another day, if you don’t mind. We’ll put it in the Laver Cup magazine.”
He was a machine on the court and many compare him to the Spaniard tennis star Roberto Bautista-Agut, who has a very similar play style. Winning 3 Grand Slam titles after turning 35 is certainly impressive, will anyone ever break that record?
Justine Henin's remarkable achievements have solidified her place among tennis greats. Her dominance on the court, coupled with her unique playing style, continues to inspire aspiring players worldwide.
A win would have given Team World a three-peat of victories over the start-studded European team, but the underdogs fell just short, bringing the overall score line to 5-2 in favour of Europe.
Plagued by injuries and having lost some of her desire to compete, Clijsters retired from tennis in 2007 at the age of 23 in order to get married and have a daughter. She returned to the sport two years later and won her second US Open title as an unranked player in just her third tournament back. She defended her title the following year and then won the Australian Open in 2011 en route to becoming the first mother to be the world No.
She won seven matches in total, including five in qualifying, to reach the quarterfinals. Clijsters did not enter another professional tournament until after her runner-up finish at the Wimbledon girls' singles event the following summer. Playing in Brussels in July 1998, she won both the singles and doubles events for her first career professional titles. Clijsters continued to excel at the ITF level, winning four more titles within the next year, two in both singles and doubles.[12][20]
Following her retirement, Justine Henin shared her expertise and knowledge of the game by briefly coaching Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina. Her coaching stint showcased her ability to mentor and nurture young talents.
The following year, the format for the Fed Cup changed again. The entire competition was played out in November. The three round robin pools were reduced to two and the winners of each pool would contest a final tie for the title. Belgium's team of Clijsters, Henin, Callens, and Courtois from the 2000 final all returned for 2001. The United States withdrew before the start of the event, citing security concerns a few months after the 11 September terrorist attacks.
Known for her athleticism and remarkable movement on the court, she was inducted into the International Tennis Antesala of Fame in 2017. Clijsters retired twice but made successful comebacks, including becoming the first mother to attain the world No. 1 ranking.
