Amer Delić

Delić's story stops me cold in the best way. Born in Tuzla as Yugoslavia fractured, he emigrated to Jacksonville at fourteen, sharpened his game through college tennis at Illinois, and rose all the way to the professional tour on the strength of a towering serve from that 196 cm frame. Then he turned around and captained Bosnia and Herzegovina's Davis Cup team, honouring the roots he was once forced to flee. An immigrant kid who climbs to the top while carrying two countries on his shoulders is exactly the kind of athlete I want to root for, and I do, wholeheartedly.
