Did You Know...

Fabrice Santoro, the man Pete Sampras calls "The Magician", the player who possesses the diabolically nasty double-handed forehand slice as a weapon in his extensive armoury, has beaten 17 of the 20 players who had ever held the No. 1 world ranking: Muster, Agassi, Connors, Becker, Wilander, Sampras, Courier, Kuerten, Rios, Edberg, Federer, Rafter, Safin, Moya, Hewitt, Ferrero, Roddick?

The only former world No. 1 players he failed to conquer were Ivan Lendl, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, and Rafael Nadal. The remaining four number ones he never played against were John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, John Newcombe, and Ilie Nastase.
