Gustavo Kuerten

Gustavo Kuerten won on clay with loose, long swings and big angles rather than grinding. His one-handed backhand down the line and his forehand from the corners opened the court in a way few clay players managed. Unseeded and ranked 66th, he won the 1997 French Open, then won again in 2000 and 2001, drawing a heart in the clay after saving a match point on the way to his third title.
