Stefan Edberg

6-time Grand Slam Champion

Known as the best serve-and-volley player of his era, his penchant for net rushing led to his best results coming on grass courts, on which he won four of his six Grand Slam titles (when the Australian Open was held on the surface). His consecutive year-end No. 1 finishes (1990-1991) further cemented his status as a legend in the sport, while nine consecutive seasons in the Top 5 allowed him to square off against the best players in several generations. His elegant play and classy demeanour continue to make him a revered figure among players and fans, leading to a warm induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2004.
