Thomas Muster: The Comeback King

Thomas Muster: The Comeback King

Less than 2-hours after a thrilling 5-7, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 win over Yannick Noah, in the semifinals of the Lipton Championships in Key Biscayne, Fla., Thomas Muster's career-high goes to a career-low when he is hit by a car, tearing ligaments in his left knee and forcing him to default the tournament final to World No. 1 Ivan Lendl.

Muster is off the tour for only six months, famously training in a specially-made wheelchair that allows him to hit tennis balls.

Oddly, his 44th and final ATP tournament victory would come in 1997 when he returns to the Key Biscayne Final and beats Sergei Bruguera for the title.

This is the story of Thomas Muster: The Comeback King.
