Notes
  1. Agassi became only the fifth male player in history to complete a Career Slam, and the first to ever win all four Grand Slam tournaments on different surfaces.
  2. Coria reached the 2004 Men's Singles final, but lost to Gastón Gaudio.

gollark: Yet most people in developed countries apparently have smartphones now.
gollark: Presumably if they get particularly popular, they'll be available on the technically-worse-but-better-looking-than-buying-it-outright phone-style contracts.

gollark: Good (well, any) AR still costs a lot, but presumably costs will drop over time.
