Roger Federer In 2003, Federer won his first Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon, beating Mark Philippoussis in the final.[62] Federer won his first and only doubles Masters Series 1000 event in Miami with Max Mirnyi[63] and made it to one singles Masters Series 1000 event in Rome on clay, which he lost.[62] Federer made it to nine finals on the ATP Tour and won seven of them, including the 500 series events at Dubai and Vienna.[62] Lastly, Federer won the year-end championships over Andre Agassi, finishing the year as world #2, narrowly behind Andy Roddick by only 160 points.[62]
Roger Federer Federer's main accomplishments as a junior player came at Wimbledon in 1998, where he won both the boys' singles final over Irakli Labadze,[37] and in doubles teamed with Olivier Rochus, defeating the team of Michaël Llodra and Andy Ram.[38] In addition, Federer lost the US Open Junior final in 1998 to David Nalbandian. He won four ITF junior singles tournaments in his career, including the prestigious Orange Bowl, where he defeated Guillermo Coria in the final.[39] He ended 1998 with the No. 1 junior world ranking, was awarded ITF junior World Champion, and entered his first tournament as a professional during 1998 in Gstaad, where he lost to Lucas Arnold Ker in the first round.
Andy Murray After strong grass court seasons in 2012 and 2013, Murray was seeded third for the 2014 Wimbledon Championship, behind Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who were seeded first and second respectively.[236] He began his title defence with straight sets wins over David Goffin[237] and Blaž Rola, defeating the latter for the loss of just two games.[238] Murray continued his good form, defeating Roberto Bautista Agut[239] and Kevin Anderson,[240] the 27th and 20th seeds, again in straight sets to reach his seventh consecutive Wimbledon quarterfinal. Murray's defence then came to a halt as Grigor Dimitrov ended his 17 match winning-streak on the grass of Wimbledon (this includes the 2012 Olympics) with a straight sets win, meaning Murray failed to reach the semifinals for the first time since 2008.[241] After his defeat at the Championships, Murray dropped to No. 10, his lowest ranking since 2008.[242]
