My Take
Courier is the kind of champion I have a soft spot for. World No. 1 for 58 weeks and the year-end top player in 1992, he reached the summit not on flash but on a punishing forehand, fitness, and relentless work ethic. Born in small-town Sanford, Florida, he often gets overshadowed by the more glamorous Sampras and Agassi, yet his grit-over-glory game is exactly what I respect. His Hall of Fame induction is well earned. He's since become a sharp, perceptive commentator. Quietly tough competitors like him tend to leave the deepest impression, and he certainly has on me.
