Fabrice 'The Magician' Santoro

Nicknamed “The Magician” by Pete Sampras after losing in three sets in 3rd RD of Indian Wells in 2002, Santoro literally bamboozled his opponents with a 2-hander off both sides, slicing and dicing his way to the net with a deceptively powerful serve. Some players just couldn’t play him like Safin (2-9).
