Mats Wilander

Mats Wilander won the 1982 French Open at 17 with tactical patience that seemed beyond his years, changing pace and height until opponents lost their rhythm. He added Roland Garros titles in 1985 and 1988, and his 1988 season, with three majors, showed how well clay-court thinking could transfer to hard courts. His matches are a study in point construction rather than power.
