Mackenzie McDonald

Mackenzie McDonald is the kind of player I respect more the closer I look. He went to UCLA and swept the 2016 NCAA singles and doubles titles, which is rare, then grinded his way up the professional ladder to a career high of world No. 37. At 178 centimeters he's undersized for the modern power game, so I read his rise as proof that movement and tactics still count. He's best known to casual fans for one upset headline, but I think that flattens him. The fuller picture is a college champion who turned a non-obvious physical profile into a durable tour career.
