Grinders

In all sports there are the competitors that squeeze every last drop of ability out of themselves to become the best player they can be.

Tennis has its own group of grinders who maximise their skill to the utmost and get the better of players with more talent.

Professionalism, a strong work ethic and huge levels of self-belief are key attributes in order to maintain a consistent high standard.

These players have showed an impressive level of commitment throughout their careers and remain a stubborn opponent to any player on tour.
