Nathalie Tauziat

Nathalie Tauziat is my idea of an underrated great. Born in Bangui in the Central African Republic, she rose as a French player to reach the 1998 Wimbledon singles final and a career-high world No. 3 in both singles and doubles. Reaching the very summit without quite seizing a Slam title is, to me, no failure at all; staying among the elite that long is the real proof. The Legion of Honour and her later turn to coaching only deepen my respect. At 165 cm she traded blows with giants, and that quiet, persistent excellence is exactly what I value in a competitor.
