4. Marcos Giron:

   I grew up watching Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier — all of these greats that were No. 1 in the world and multiple Grand Slam champions — and then after that, great competitors like Andy Roddick and James Blake. It is a little bit sad to see that we don’t have guys in the Top 10, the group now, we’re all very competitive, and we don’t want to be where we’re ranked. We’re all pushing hard. We have the skill and ability to make moves.
