Tim Mayotte

Tim Mayotte reached world No. 7 and collected twelve singles titles, which in the brutally deep 1980s field is a seriously underrated feat. A Springfield native who came through Stanford, he paired that big serve-and-volley game off a 190 cm frame with a clear, thoughtful approach to the sport. He sat just shy of the very top, the perennial contender everyone respected rather than the headline champion. I have a real soft spot for that archetype: the durable craftsman who quietly stayed excellent in the shadow of the flashier kings. Mayotte was, to my eye, a wonderfully understated and admirable player.
