I know he went to college in Houston TX.  He was hot in the early 90's when he won a couple tournaments in a row.  One being the LA Open.  Thanks to him the Lyns Black Cat irons became top sellers.  You can see his profile www.pgatour.com

He does have the talent and love to win Wimbledon. But not in the era where a player namely Federer dominates the field, followed by his dominions consisted of Roddick, Blake, Nalbandian etc. He has to raise his game and fitness level to match top 10 players' athleticism and play. He also has to be much more consistent and keeps his temper in play, he gotta believe in himself so much more than relying on Gilbert(Murray's coach) that he can upset world's bests.

I tried to look up his record, and I didn't find any record of the person you mentioned ever playing in any of the major tournaments.  \n\nOops, I thought I was in the tennis section.

James Riley Blake (born 28 December 1979) is an American professional tennis player.\n\nBlake was born in Yonkers, New York to parents Thomas Sr. (an African-American) and Betty (who is European-English). He has a brother, Thomas Jr., who is also a professional tennis player, and two older half-brothers, Christopher and Howard.\n\nBlake attended Fairfield Warde High School, in Fairfield, Connecticut. He dropped out of Harvard University after his sophomore year to pursue a career in tennis. Blake was inspired to pursue tennis after hearing his role model, Arthur Ashe, speak to the Harlem Junior Tennis Program. Brian Barker was his first (and current) coach.\n\nAt age 21, Blake saw his first Davis Cup action in 2001 against India and became the third African-American man to play the Davis Cup for the United States. Blake won the 2002 USTA Waikola Challenger in Hawaii. He has also twice won the Hopman Cup (with Serena Williams & Lindsay Davenport).\n\nBlake was named Rookie of the Year for the 2000 World Team Tennis season, and he has appeared in People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" issue. He is also good friends with singer/songwriter John Mayer, who is also from Fairfield. When Blake was invited by Anthem Insurance to do a cancer charity game honoring his late father, he invited Mayer (along with Andy Roddick and Gavin DeGraw) to perform.\n\nAway from tennis, Blake also enjoys golf, basketball, and baseball. Blake has also been featured on Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown.

Andrew Illie hit two between the leg shots, jumping backhand overheads from near the baseline, passing shots from 4 feet wide of the court, angled drop volleys off  blistering forehands, but I just can't remember his opponent that day.  Another player that played a lot of daring shots in his day was Henri Leconte the frenchman who played some unbelievable tennis at time, but also played some crazy shots at other times and his countrymen gave him the monniker "Le IDIOT!"  However, I always enjoyed watching him play.

If Borg were born at the same time as most players today and went through modern strength and conditioning programs.  Add to this some changes to his game to better handle the pace of modern day tennis, and I have no doubt that Bjorn Borg would be near the top of todays game.  I am fairly sure that John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors would agree.

Hmm, I always he had potential, but maybe his injury did more damage than expected. That's a shame, I quite like him actually. \nWe need more players to compete with Federer ... otherwise he'll keep adding numbers to his winning streak. \n\nI'm hoping Andy Roddick can play well this time at Wimbledon ...

YEP...! - you beat me to it...! I was just about to ask that too...\n\nIt's obvious he's one of those players with a ritual of irriatating little things he MUST do every time he lines-up to send OR receive a serve, lots of pro sports-stars are superstitious like that - OR else they deliberately try to unsettle an opponent by messing about. Mary Pierce is another one... But hey...! - sometime it works... and players like that are really cheats and should be punished...!\n\nBut this bum-picking thing of Nadal sure beats me...! I reckon a best friend (or three...!) should tell him that people are beginning to talk...!  Even his best fans...!!

I'm not sure what your queston is, but let me try these:\n\nWhen is "Roland Garros" this year -- R/G is the site of the French Open, the only clay court major championship, to be played from 5-28 to 6/11 this year.\n\nWho/what  was Roland Garros --why the name?  Apparently, he was a French aviation pioneer who was the first to fly over the Mediterranean.\n\nWho will win the French Open this year?  Will Nadal be in shape to defend?  Will Federer take the major that has eluded him during his 3-year stretch of dominance?  Other candidates?  Something tells me that Federer  will not win this year (he'll end up winning a couple in his career) and it won't be Nadal either.  Having said that, I hope they will be seeded in different halves and play one another for the title.\n\nThe women?  Can Mauresmo deal w/ the pressure, having finally won a major?  Who's going to be healthy?  Not a prediction, but I'd love to see Hingis cement her comeback with a title here.\n\nWas your question answered?

Pataki never played in the pros but he loves the game of basketball.  He played the post in an attorneys league while he worked at the law firm of Dewey Ballantine.  Rumor has it that Pataki has a pretty decent game ;)
