Mats Wilander

Mats Wilander is a former world No. 1 tennis player from Sweden. From 1982 to 1988, he won seven Grand Slam singles titles -- three at the French Open, three at the Australian Open, and one at the US Open -- and one Grand Slam men's doubles title at Wimbledon.

In 1988, Wilander won three of the four Grand Slam singles events and finished that year as the top-ranked male player. He twice won the Australian Open when that tournament was still played on grass courts. This makes Wilander one of only six men to have won Grand Slam singles titles on grass courts, hard courts, and clay courts. He and Rafael Nadal are the only men in tennis history to have won at least two Grand Slam singles titles on each of the three surfaces.

Wilander won his fourth Grand Slam singles title at the age of 20, the youngest man in history to have achieved that feat. He won 33 singles titles and seven doubles titles during his career. He was also a driving force behind Sweden's run of seven consecutive Davis Cup finals in the 1980s.

In 2002, Wilander was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Since retiring as a player, he has served as captain of the Swedish Davis Cup team and as coach of the Russian player Marat Safin. Wilander also occasionally spends time commentating tennis matches on Eurosport. He competes from time-to-time on the senior tour.
