Fernando Verdasco
Some start young, and some start really young! Fernando Verdasco started playing tennis when he was only four years old and unbelievably had a full-time coach from the age of eight. In April 2009 he ranked as the world’s number 7. He makes our list due to his lightning-fast serve at the 2009 French Open of 232 km/h (144 mph).
