Ok, I am think about making a "Career in Review" section in everyone's player profile. This would be a long passage reviewing their careers (pretty self-explanitory). Obviously this will take a very long time to do everyone's, but if someone wants to help, that would be great. Just write one and then I would edit it with you. This is not going to be just stats paragraph form, but rather more like an article about the player's career. I will supply you with any information that you could use in the review that only I would know (for example if it's a computer, where they grew up, where they trained; personal stuff). Any takers (you can just do one if you'd like)?

I think it would be best if everyone did their own reviews for starters, and then various members can do the computer reviews later.
As well, we can always make the format of the reviews 'ATP' style:
Quote:
1987 – Made presence known with SF appearances in Stratton Mountain and Basel… Won first ATP title as a wild card in Itaparica (d. Mattar)… 1988 – Won six titles in seven finals… At age 18, posted SF showings at Roland Garros and US Open… 1989 – Won his only title of year in Orlando and reached Rome final… 1990 – Reached first Grand Slam final at Roland Garros (l. to Gomez) and followed later in year with final at US Open (l. to Sampras)… Captured inaugural ATP World Championship in Frankfurt, defeating Becker in SF and Edberg in final… Won three other titles… Helped U.S. to Davis Cup title over Australia… 1991 – Won titles in Orlando and Washington… Finalist for second year at Roland Garros (l. to Courier)… 1992 – Defeated three-time champs Becker and J. McEnroe to reach Wimbledon final, where he defeated Ivanisevic in five sets for first Grand Slam title… Also won Toronto and Atlanta… Led U.S. over Sweden (SF) and Switzerland (F) to win Davis Cup… 1993 – Underwent right wrist surgery on Dec. 20, 1993…Won titles in San Francisco and Scottsdale and first career double....

I was thinking more essay-like than just highlights each year. And I don't think people should do themselves because its more difficult. People should do other's reviews, preventing any bias. If you are doing a review though, first let me know and then get any information that you don't know from either that player (if its a member) or me (if its a computer).
