Xavier James Jackson (born February 4, 1984) is an American professional tennis player who is currently ranked World No. 8 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). After turning professional in 1998, Jackson became known for his breakthrough 2002 season, which saw him reach a Grand Slam Singles final and winning the Year-End Tour Championships as a #8 seed, becoming the lowest seeded player to win the Year-End Championships; he has since won ten Year-End Championships, the most titles in ATP history, and had finished as the Year-End No. 1 player eleven times (2003, 2007, 2008, and from 2010–2017). Many commentators and former tennis players regard Jackson as one of the greatest male tennis players of all-time.
His 2003 season became one of the most successful seasons produced in ATP history, winning all four Grand Slams in the same year, otherwise known as the Grand Slam, and finished 51–2, winning 96% of his matches, one of the highest-percentages produced in ATP history. Jackson was the first person to complete the rare achievement since Rod Laver back in 1969, and he was also the youngest person to do so (19 years, 7 months, 3 days). In addition to the virtue of his successful season, Jackson acquired the No. 1 ranking, becoming the youngest player to ever achieve the ranking. Jackson would later complete the rare achievement for a second time in 2015, at age 31, joining Rod Laver as the only players to complete the feat twice.
Jackson has won 38 Grand Slam titles, the most ever by any man of all-time. He has had seven stints as the No. 1 player in the world for a total of 460 weeks at the top summit:
*June 16, 2003 to June 7, 2004 (52 weeks)
*June 11, 2007 to September 10, 2007 (13 weeks)
*November 19, 2007 to May 12, 2008 (25 weeks)
*November 17, 2008 to January 26, 2009 (11 weeks)
*May 17, 2010 to January 20, 2014 (193 weeks)
*August 11, 2014 to September 1, 2014 (4 weeks),
*November 17, 2014 to January 28, 2018 (162 weeks).
Jackson holds the record for most total weeks of any player, as well as most consecutive weeks (193).
==Playing style==
Jackson plays right-handed and is known for his ability to make quick points during matches by protecting the net portion of the tennis court. He is an all-around court player, being able to make points from any part of the court, and he is equipped with capable volleying skills.
