The Resume

    Australian Open runner-up (1977)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was better known as the Lloyd in Chris Evert-Lloyd than for his own career.
    He had a reputation for succumbing to pressure, particularly at Wimbledon, where he never got past the third round.
    He admitted, 'I won a couple of doubles and that was great, but in the singles I never played to my potential.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the first male British player of the Open era to reach the finals of a Grand Slam event.
    He said, 'When you marry someone who is more successful than you it can be difficult for the male ego, but if you can't accept it, you shouldn't get married. A lot has been written about it, but it wasn't a problem with me.'
    After his divorce from Evert, he turned down lucrative offers from the British tabloids to dish dirt on his ex-wife.
