Yasutaka Uchiyama

Yasutaka Uchiyama doesn't get nearly enough credit for what he's pulled off. Growing up in Sapporo — a city better known for snow festivals and ramen than tennis courts — and grinding his way onto the professional tour takes a kind of stubborn determination that most people can't really fathom. Japanese men's tennis has always been a brutal proving ground — the world rankings don't do favors easily — but Uchiyama has kept showing up anyway, which I respect enormously. He's not a household name, and he probably won't land on the back page of a sports daily anytime soon, but that's exactly the type of player I find myself rooting for hardest. The quiet ones who just keep doing the work.
