Courier closes career

Jim Courier, a former number 1 has called the curtain on a career full of dramatic highs and lows. He was ranked number 1 back in 1992, a position which he held for 36 weeks. He won 4 grand slams, 2 each at the Australian and French Open and also reached the final of Wimbledon and the US Open. But he appeared to suffer from an early burn out, being caught reading at one point during a match at the end of 1993. After this he never reached another grand slam final. However, his rivalry with Pete Sampras in the early 1990's electrified the sport as they battled for the number 1 spot. Their match in the 1995 Australian Open was considered by many to have been one of the greatest in the sport. In tribute to Courier's retirement this week, this article will look over his turbulant career.
