Who is the most legendary figure in tennis history? Why?
1May, 96018th, yanik Noah was born in Sedan, France. When I was two years old, I returned to Cameroon with my parents and grew up in Yaoundé. 1972, arthur ashe (the first black player to win a Grand Slam men's singles title) discovered Noah's tennis potential in an exhibition match. After learning that he had a French mother, Ash strongly recommended Noah to Philippe Chhatri, president of the French Tennis Association. So Noah was able to return to France and received five years of professional tennis training in Nice. 1977, Noah became a professional player after winning the French junior championship. 1980 became the number one tennis player in France, but was immediately involved in a drug abuse scandal and his career fell into a trough. 1983, Noah recovered his state, defeated Swedish Vilander in Roland Galos men's singles final, won the French Open men's singles title, became the first Frenchman to win the French Open title since 1946, and was the only Frenchman to win the Grand Slam men's singles title so far in the open era, becoming the supreme hero in French tennis history, which is also an important reason why the French still remember him for a long time. Yanik Noah especially likes to feast his eyes on the audience with a unique action in the game: when his online opponent picks a high ball to his backcourt, he will turn and run forward with his back to the net, and then make a stunt of hitting the ball with his back to the net, and this move is often successful. Even today, when a player completes this action before the game, the commentator often mentions yanik Noah's name.
