Steve Johnson

Steve Johnson is the sort of player I instinctively pull for. An Orange, California native forged in the USC program, he turned a towering 188 cm frame and a heavy serve into a peak ranking of world No. 21, and for one week in 2016 he was the top-ranked American man. He was a dominant force in college tennis before that, a properly battle-tested competitor of the same generation many fans watched closely. His was not a flashy superstar arc but a craftsman's grind to the top of his own country, and that kind of patient, earned climb is exactly what I love to see in this sport.
