Here's an addendum:
Addendum: Some Surprises
In my research I ran across a few facts that I found surprising and wanted to pass along:
- Among recent ATP 500 winners I was surprised to find the names Andrey Golubev and Steve Darcis, especially considering the next tidbit:
- Neither Richard Gasquet nor Marin Cilic has ever won an ATP tournament above the 250 level; this was unsurprising on one level in that both are considered chronic underachievers, yet it was surprising given how highly they’ve been ranked – both have been top 10 players, far higher ranked than Darcis or Andrey Golubev, both of whom have won higher tournaments.
- Nicolas Mahut won his first, and then second, career title in 2013, at the age of 31; I guess it just goes to show you that its never too late.
