Mark Knowles

Mark Knowles (born September 4, 1971 in Nassau, Bahamas) is a professional male tennis player from the Bahamas. He was awarded All American honors at UCLA in both singles and doubles. His highest singles ranking on the ATP was 93. He has been extremely successful in doubles partnering w/ Canadian Daniel Nestor. The pair have won the Australian Open in 2002, the US Open in 2004, and the French Open in 2007. They are looking to win Wimbledon to add to their names to only a select group of great doubles teams who have won the Slams on all 4 surfaces. Mark is known for his quick hands and unbelievable volleys."

On July 5, 2006 Knowles participated in the longest match in Wimbledon history, lasting 6 hours and 9 minutes.

Knowles has also played singles and doubles for the Bahamas Davis Cup team for more than 13 years. Knowles is a 4 time Olympian.

He annually holds his highly regarded charity tournament on Paradise Island off of his home island Nassau where all of his proceeds go to local children's charities. The Mark Knowles Celebrity Tennis Invitational debuted in 2001 and it is attended by many great players such as Andre Agassi and James Blake, Jim Courier, Tommy Haas.

Knowles was elected (by his peers) as Vice President of the ATP and was selected to be on the ATP Drug Force Council.

His longterm partnership with Daniel Nestor ended after the 2007 U.S. Open. Nestor decided it was time to try playing with a new partner. Knowles was expected to play with former Grand Slam champion in doubles Mahesh Bhupathi in the fall but Bhupathi is out until the end of the year due to back surgery. He will now play with Jamie Murray in the Madrid Masters [1] but has no finalized plans for 2008.[2]

On September 9th, 2007, Mark announced www.markknowlestennis.com as his official website.
