Rios is one of my favorite all time tennis player because of his athletic ability.  He plays left handed...like me, and he has all the tennis shots you can find any tennis book.  He is known to be a great athlete because of his speed and shot techniques on the court.  I also enjoy watching him ply because he has a great attitude on the tennis court.  He is mostly calm and relaxed during his match, and not many players are like this because many just want to break their rackets.

One thing I dislike about him is his personality off the court.  He is know to be a show off and think too much of himself.  Sometimes he knows that he is the man, that at times he praise himself too much.
Well, as long as I can watch his talent on the court to help me improve my tennis ability.

He became the number on the world by defeating Andre Agassi in the Lipton Championship in late March 1998.
