The Men: Andy Mu... ATP Ranking: 4

The distant fourth member of the Big Four (Ringo, anyone?), Murray has won more than $20 million in his career on the court. But the 25-year-old Scot, who is sponsored by Adidas, has never won the big one. He’s come close, with three appearances in Slam finals (2008 U.S. Open, and 2010 and 2011 Australian). He recently hired Ivan Lendl as his coach. Perhaps the steely 8-time Slam winner can instill the killer instinct that’s been lacking in his pupil. (AP Photo/Michel Euler)

The 27-year-old Frenchman is one of the most electric players in tennis, with a big serve and overall attacking game. He made the finals of the 2008 Australian Open, and has made the semifinals of that tournament again (in 2010) and last year’s Wimbledon. He’s sponsored by Babolat and Adidas.

(Tie) John Isner... ATP Ranking: 10 and 12, respectively

The two top-ranked American men’s players have some work to do on their resumes. Isner is best known for being tall (6’9”) and having played the longest match in tennis history. Fish is maybe best known for his group of fans, known as the “Fishheads.” Isner, sponsored by Coca-Cola and Lacoste, made the quarters at the 2011 U.S. Open (and just crashed out of Wimbledon in the first round). Fish, sponsored by Wilson and Bumble Bee Foods (of course), made the quarters at last year’s Wimbledon. (AP Photos: Michel Euler/Mark Baker)
