Thomas Muster

Thomas Muster was a left-handed grinder who overpowered opponents physically on clay, with heavy topspin and a fitness regime that became famous. In 1989 a drunk driver hit him in Key Biscayne and damaged his knee; he came back, trained seated with his leg in a brace, and in 1995 won the French Open as part of a season of dozens of clay-court wins in a row. He briefly became world number one in 1996.
