"I'm, like, so totally psyched that I got rid of this dress. Seriously, great design but bad luck. I lost to a couple of 18-year olds in this dress, and one lost happened when I was defending champ at the US Open. Who am I?"


"Match-fixing? Ha! Illegal betting?? Ha! They can't prove these accusations, but they'd sure love to blame the Russian mafia - or at least one loud-mouthed person we all know. Who am I?"

"I'm the youngest woman's No. 1 in history, yet I can't catch a break. I've been accused of hitting the nose candy, but I say my urine samples got all screwed up. Now my career is tainted - no pun intended, of course. Who am I?"


"I'm mad...mad I say! I need to get myself to Anger Management 101 or a head shrinker at the very least. The media keeps bashing me because my personality constantly overshadows my immense talent . Who am I?"

"Dude, I've got a cannonball serve but I still can't beat Federer. Even if he had one arm tied behind his back and was blindfolded, I still couldn't ace that guy. I'm lucky to have one win over him in sixteen matches. Who am I?"


"One year I was in the top 5 but then I hit the skids. Some say it was due to weird dieting and some say I had an eating disorder. But I say it was some off-court personal issues with my family. Who am I?"

"Listen, I'm the best player in the world, period. No one can beat me when I'm on - even if they demolish me, I'm still better. Let's just say they're lucky. It's all about me and my game, okay? Who am I??"

"Some peeps call me the Mallorcan Matador for my intensity on the tennis court. I have this bizarre habit of picking my wedgie every time I serve, even when I don't have one. I even think it's strange! Who am I?"

Let's play Gallery of the Unknown Tennis Player!

Over here at Down the Line! we've noticed, during our many hours perusing image banks and sites, the thousands of photos of tennis players that will simply go unused. Why? Many times the player's face is covered with some sort of object, rendering the images useless but often with hilarious results. Most media outlets would pass these by, but not us.

We've decided we're going to uses these photos to test your player knowledge in a series we'll call Gallery of the Unknown Tennis Player. Each player's face is covered by an object - a shirt, towel, or their own uncontrollable hands - and all you'll get is the player's own description of themselves (well, not really, but we'd like to think so).

Think you know your players? Let's find out...


"I once gave up on tennis out of frustration only to return after a stint doing construction work. Recently I destroyed the No. 2 and 3 players in the world in a major tournament, and I own one of the best returns on the ATP tour. Who am I?"

"I may not look it but I'm black. It may have been in a previous life, but I'm still black. The Williams sisters even give me tips on my many hairdos, and I'm going to learn to breakdance if it kills me. Who am I?"
