Thomas Johansson

Racket Sports

Thomas Johansson is a Swedish former professional tennis player, born on 24 March 1975, who later became a coach. He reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 7 in May 2002, the year he won the Australian Open, beating Marat Safin in the final despite never having gone past a Grand Slam quarterfinal in 24 earlier attempts. He also won the 1999 Canada Masters and nine top-level singles titles in all, and with Simon Aspelin took the silver medal in men's doubles at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, losing the final to Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka. He retired in 2009 and, as of 2025, remains the last Swedish man to win a major singles title. He has since worked as a coach on the professional tour.
