He is a six-time Grand Slam champion, an Olympic Gold Medalist, and the youngest-ever winner of the men's singles title at Wimbledon.
He won his first top-level singles title in June that year at Queen's Club and then, two weeks later, became the first unseeded player and the youngest ever male player to win the Wimbledon singles title, defeating Kevin Curren in the final in four sets.
At the time he was Wimbledon's first German champion, and the youngest ever male Grand Slam singles champion at 17 years, 7 months (a record broken four years later by Michael Chang who won the French Open when he was 17 years, 3 months).

Asked whether an Australian Open was his primary objective during the Hopman Cup, Hewitt seemed eager to reduce the pressure he will face in the next fortnight by saying he craved the title but did not care if it came now or in 10 years' time.
And at the 2003 Australian Open, there don't appear to be too many players that could keep him on the court long enough to deplete his fitness and leave him fatigued in the second week.
The Australian Open favourite has suffered successive losses for the first time in nine months and if the Hopman Cup is not the world's most meaningful event, then it is still Hewitt's last before the Melbourne Park grand slam tournament begins.
