no never heard of her, I was too young in the 90's to consume tennis like I do know, really only knew 3 players as I was of school age, maybe I head of McEnroe as well because they used to talk about his 'you can't be serious line'.

Still, Anke Huber is super famous. WTA Stuttgart tournament director and all that.

I honestly didn't even know Sue Barker was a former slam winner or tennis players for years when she was Presenting Wimbledon on the BBC until they mentioned it one day, saw her in a a different light after that, always thought she was a bit of a dowdy presenter just put there to do a job, turns out she had a bit of talent.

Men's final top 50 in 1999
Recognised 34 names, at the time I wouldn't have done, but in the early 2000's started to watch tennis more full time so the names became familiar. Chang was still hanging around top 50. Spoiler: Show 1 Agassi Andre 2 Kafelnikov Yevgeny 3 Sampras Pete 4 Enqvist Thomas 5 Kuerten Gustavo 6 Kiefer Nicolas 7 Martin Todd 8 Lapentti Nicolas 9 Rios Marcelo 10 Krajicek Richard 11 Haas Tommy 12 Henman Tim 13 Pioline Cedric 14 Rusedski Greg 15 Norman Magnus 16 Rafter Patrick 17 Kucera Karol 18 Costa Albert 19 Philippoussis Mark 20 Spadea Vincent 21 Hrbaty Dominik 22 Mantilla Felix 23 Hewitt Lleyton 24 Moya Carlos 25 Safin Marat 26 Corretja Alex 27 Grosjean Sebastien 28 Zabaleta Mariano 29 Meligeni Fernando 30 Alami Karim 31 Medvedev Andrei 32 Courier Jim 33 Santoro Fabrice 34 El Aynaoui Younes 35 Golmard Jerome 36 Arazi Hicham 37 Escude Nicolas 38 Clavet Francisco 39 Rosset Marc 40 Johansson Thomas 41 Novak Jiri 42 Pavel Andrei 43 Ferrero Juan Carlos 44 Vacek Daniel 45 Schalken Sjeng 46 Koubek Stefan 47 Di Pasquale Arnaud 48 Schuettler Rainer 49 Vicente Fernando 50 Chang Michael |

How can you not know Rainer Schuettler?
 |
|
By:
What can I say edy, German players just don't leave a long lasting effect on me
 |
|
By:
The year Tim Henman won his one and only Masters in Paris - it was from that point on where I started watching tennis full time, whatever year that was
|
|
By:
pretty sure he beat Roddick along the way

Schuettler beat some good names enroute to his Slam final
Krakicek > Safin > Blake > Nalbandian > Roddick |

And today is BJK Cup captain for Germany.

Stefan Koubek is a legend for choking Daniel Köllerer on court.

|
By:
He took offence to apparently having had been called a "w*nker* in German.
|
|
By:
oh yeah, I know that guy, wonder why Kollerer did nothing
|
|
By:
Köllerer never reached top 50
|
|
By:
Well, he was a total hack.
|
|
By:
Can't provoke many better players into choking you so you get the win by qualification.
|
|
By:
Though if I remember his exploits on German trash TV correctly, he is very decently sized...you know where....
 |
|
By:
First challenger title for German talent Justin Engel.

I'm honestly amazed we've never seen a proper fight on a tennis court, or an empire having enough of a player's abuse. What we have seen is mostly handbags stuff. Rarely happens in football either, famous account was once in 70's involving Hamburg's finest, Kevin Keegan, where proper punches were actually thrown.

I know 33 out of 50 on that list.

meanwhile Sinner is struggling against Zverev in this all Austrian clash in Vienna.
|
|
By:
Sinner has a 3-4 h2h record v Zverev surprisingly
|
|
By:
this is annoying, I have the tennis on the laptop, the Arsenal build up on the TV, and El Classico starts at 14:!5 as well with Fonseca match starting at after half 2 ffs
|
|
By:
the inevitable second set Zverev collapse happens
|
|
By:
Can the German conquer Austria
|
|
By:
woah Sinner smiling mid-match at Zverev's almost muggery.
|
|
By:
and so he chokes right at the end
