Tennis Magazine's 2007 Players of the Year

Roger has been named Tennis Magazine's Player of the Year for the fifth consecutive time. Tennis Magazine is based in the US and appears monthly.

"Roger's serve is more of a weapon than it may appear, and that forehand is deadly," 14-time Grand Slam champion Pete Sampras writes in the January-February issue. "What most impressed me, though, was the speed at which he can go from defense to offense. His ability to take command from any place on the court, at any stage of a point, may be his greatest gift of all."

The magazine said Roger's victory over Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon final was the best men's match of 2007, while Henin's victory over Maria Sharapova at the season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships was the best women's match of the year.
