Philipp Kohlschreiber

Philipp Kohlschreiber is the sort of player I have a soft spot for, the reliable tour professional who never quite cracked the elite tier but earned deep respect anyway. The German right-hander peaked at world No. 16 in 2012, the same year he reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals, and collected eight singles titles along the way. He had one of the prettier one-handed backhands of his era, which always made him a pleasure to watch. He never won a major, but careers like his are the backbone of the sport. To me, longevity and craft like that deserve more recognition than they usually get.
