ATP Coach of the Year (2016)
Magnus Norman (born 30 May 1976 in Filipstad) is an ATP tennis coach and a retired professional tennis player from Sweden. He reached a career-high Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) world No. 2 singles ranking on June 12, 2000. His career highlights include reaching a Grand Slam final at the French Open in 2000, and an ATP Masters Series title at the 2000 Rome Masters.
He owns a tennis academy called the Good to Great Tennis Academy, among its students are Stan Wawrinka and Gaël Monfils. Grigor Dimitrov was also a former student. He also plays bandy, a sport he played in his youth before deciding to concentrate on tennis.
Norman turned professional in 1995 when he was 19 years old. His career was cut short when injuries struck during his peak in late 2000, after he reached semifinals of the Australian Open and the final of the French Open, as well as a Masters title in Rome and several other titles earlier during the season and was on the verge of becoming world No. 1. His last match was played in September 2003 when he retired in the third round against Jiří Novák after finishing just 3 games. He is yet to drop a set in the tournament. He retired from tennis due to major hip and knee injuries in 2004 when he was only 27 years old and competed for just over 8 years on the ATP Tour.
