Tennis Player

The Resume

    (September 3, 1993- )
    Born in Wiener Neustadt, Austria
    Ranked #2 in the world in both singles and doubles as a junior
    Runner-up at the French Open (2018-19) and Australian Open (2020)
    Won the US Open (2020)

Why he might be annoying:

    There were a number of fake stories about his training techniques, such as that he exercised with tree trunks on his back, ran through the woods at night, and swam in ice water to prepare for the rigors of a tournament.
    He won the US Open without facing any of tennis' 'Big Three,' as Roger Federer and defending champ Rafael Nadal skipped the tournament because of COVID-19-related safety concerns, while Novak Djokovic was disqualified in the fourth round for smashing a ball that hit one of the line judges.
    He was fined $1,500 at the US Open because a member of his entourage violated the rules requiring masks to be worn.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He supports environmental causes, particularly those concerned with ocean pollution.
    His trainer said, 'He gives you everything, and always with a very good disposition and motivation.'
    He was the first player since 1949 to come back from two sets down in the final to win the US Open.
    He dedicated his US Open victory to his family for making 'so many sacrifices' to support his career.
