2011's #10 Male Player: Nicolas Almagro
I was quiet happy to see that Nicolas Almagro was able to land in the yearend Top 10 rankings in the ATP Men's Tour for 2011! How cool is that! Mainly famous for being a clay courter, I guess, being ranked #10 means that Nico has done well in all four surfaces this year too! He won the titles in Costa de Sauipe and Buenos Aires after exiting the Australian Open in the fourth round. He also won Nice but had a first round exit in Roland Garros and a third round bye bye at Wimbledon. He also lost first round in the US Open.
Well, if he does improve his Grand Slam performance this year, and I think he can, well, Nico can stay in the Top 10!
