This hard hitting Australian created tremors in the men’s international circuit. Rafter is a 2 time US Open winner and the first man in the Open Era to complete the American Summer Slam( Montreal/Toronto, Cincinnati and Flushing Meadows)
He achieved the numero uno position in mid 1999. In the 1999 season, Rafter lost in the Wimbledon semifinals by Andre Agassi.
