From: The Backlot

 1. 

Patrick Rafter

YEARS ON TOUR: 1990 – 2002

PEAK RANKING: #1

MAJOR TITLES: 2

*sigh* 41-year-old Aussie Patrick was a successful but unremarkable player through the first years of his career, winning one ATP title until his breakthrough in 1997. That year he reached the semifinals of the French, the fourth round of Wimbledon, and shocking the tennis world, he won the U.S. Open. Labeled a one-slam wonder, he proved the naysayers wrong by coming back in 1998 and defending his championship.

He also reached reached two Wimbledon finals in 2000 and 2001, the latter losing 9-7 in the fifth to asshat Goran Ivanišević. Since his retirement Patrick has done underwear modeling and a campaign for Dove men. But no matter what he does the rest of his life, he will always be the hottest man to pick up a tennis racket.

Okay, your turn! Who are your choices for the hottest men of tennis?

Oh, you’re probably asking ‘But where is the GOAT? Where is Roger Federer?” Roger is not on this list.

Because he’s in a class by himself.
