My Take
Feliciano López is the kind of player I find easy to admire and easy to underrate at the same time. Reaching world No. 12 in singles and No. 9 in doubles is a genuinely complete career, yet what I remember is that lefty serve and the way he became the first Spanish man to reach a Wimbledon quarterfinal since 1972, breaking from his country's clay-court identity. At 188 centimeters with a natural feel for grass, he always felt like an outlier among his compatriots. His longevity on tour impresses me too. To me he's proof that style and durability can carry you a very long way.
