It's been a long time since Germany was a world force in tennis.
Boris Becker and Michael Stich in the late '80s early '90s and Steffi Graf throughout her illustrious career put the nation on the tennis map, regularly winning Grand Slams and other major tournaments.
Since then the likes of Nicolas Kiefer and Tommy Haas, plus Anke Huber in the ladies' game, have tried their best to emulate their heroes, but have failed to play with the level of consistency needed to become a true great of the sport.
Germany as a whole is struggling in the sport but there is one man which could change this - Mischa Zverev.
