Thomas Muster

Hours after beating Yannick Noah to reach the 1989 Miami final, Thomas Muster was struck by a drunk driver, severing ligaments in his left knee. The photograph that defines him came weeks later: leg in a cast, hitting forehands from a specially built bench. He was back on tour that September, and the grinding, top-spinning lefty baseline game he rebuilt earned him a nickname, the Musterminator, who turned clay rallies into fitness contests nobody else wanted.

The payoff peaked in 1995: twelve titles, a 40-match winning streak on clay, and Roland Garros, where he beat Michael Chang 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 for his 1 major, the anchor of 44 career titles. On 12 February 1996 he overtook Andre Agassi to become No. 1, the first Austrian to get there, six weeks in all. The quirk fits the grinder: in four Wimbledon visits he never won a match, the only male No. 1 who never did. He quit after Roland Garros in 1999, then came back at 42 to grind some more.
