He won five titles in singles and played Davis Cup for Spain. In doubles, he won 3 titles and reached the final of the 2016 US Open and the semifinals of the 2017 Australian Open. In January 2021, he announced that he would retire after the 2021 season.[9]
- Jürgen Melzer (born 22 May 1981 in Deutsch-Wagram, Austria) joined the professional tour in 1999 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 8 in singles in April 2011 and No. 6 in doubles in November 2010. He won five titles in singles and reached the semifinals of the 2010 French Open. In doubles, he won 17 titles, including the 2010 Wimbledon Championships and the 2011 US Open.

Paes achieved the rare men's doubles/mixed doubles titles feat at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships and his mixed doubles Wimbledon title in 2010 made him the second man (after Rod Laver) to win Wimbledon titles in three separate decades.[11] He won a bronze medal for India in singles at the 1996 Olympic Games and competed at consecutive Olympics from 1992 to 2016,[12] making him the first Indian and only tennis player to compete at 7 Olympic Games. He is formerly an India Davis Cup team captain and holds the record for the most Davis Cup doubles wins, with 44 victories between 1990 and 2019. Paes announced on 25 December 2019 that he would bring the curtains down on his illustrious career in 2020, which was to be his farewell season on the professional tour.[13]
