No man has won 2 Hopman Cups representing the United States of America barring James Blake. Blake was also a key driving force behind the USA winning the Davis Cup in 2007.
Injuries contributed to his ranking to plummet in the first half of 2005. Later, Blake was issued a wildcard to compete in the US Open where he remarkably beat Rafael Nadal along his way to the quarter-finals. His quarter-final with fellow American Andre Agassi will be remembered as one of the greatest ever matches played at Arthur Ashe Stadium. After leading by 2 sets and a break in the 5th set, Blake lost to Agassi in a 5th set tie-break.
Blake attained a career-high of World Number 4 in 2006 and made the final of the ATP Finals that year losing to Roger Federer.
