Description
Raemon Sluiter is a former professional male tennis player from the Netherlands. He reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of World No. 46 in February 2003. Sluiter's career highlights have been mostly on home soil: ATP finals in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Amersfoort and in s'Hertogenbosch. He also reached the semifinals with the Dutch Davis Cup team in 2001.
He announced his retirement in February 2008, which took effect after he played his home event in Rotterdam. In April 2009 he returned to professional tennis, battling from the qualifying rounds to the final of a Futures tournament in Albufeira, Portugal. In June 2009 he reached the final of the ATP event in Rosmalen, becoming the lowest ranked professional player in history to reach an ATP final, losing to Benjamin Becker.
Sluiter's best performance in a Grand Slam tournament was reaching the third round of Wimbledon in 2001. Arguably, his biggest individual win came in the first round of the following year's tournament, when he beat 20th seed and former World #1 Yevgeny Kafelnikov in five sets.
