Ilie Năstase

Năstase is the Romanian former world No. 1 and was one of the world’s top players of the 70s. Năstase is just one of the five players in history to have won more than 100 ATP professional titles (58 singles and 45 in doubles). In 1991, he was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. He’s also the second male player to have won a Grand Slam event without dropping a set and was the first one to achieve this feat at the French Open (1973).

John McEnroe

John McEnroe’s professional tennis career started 1978 until he retired in 1992! McEnroe has racked in over 12 million dollars in prize money – which is not surprising considering he’s won 71 career titles, 7 Grand Slam Singles Titles (3 Wimbledon and 4 US Open). He would go on to be inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 1999. McEnroe is a legend who worked hard to get to this level of success, and all of this was achieved without the ‘help’ of enhancing drugs. Raw and pure talent alone.
