Synopsis

Kaspar just put forth the best single season in the history of men's tennis, and aside from time at the #1 ranking he is at worst tied for second in every major category. He's also less than $1 million away from breaking into the Top 10 in career prize money. In terms of career achievements he's still 2-3 years away from equalling Gorritepe, but it sure doesn't appear that there's anyone capable of stopping him.
