Considered the greatest singles player to ever pick up the sport. A decade of dominance built on physical power and tactical flexibility — could grind from the back court or finish at the net. Olympic golds at Beijing (home soil) and London made him the first man to defend the singles title. Retired 2020 after a 20-year international career.
