Not a bad idea. Could help with the rankings as well.

Name: Sven Oxenstierna
Nationality: SWE
Date of birth: 22/04/1984
Right-handed
Clay court specialist
Short biography: Oxenstierna was born in the city hospital of Hannover nine months after a hot and fiery affair between a Båstad nobleman and a WTA tour player. After years of wrangling over the child, the tennis-playing mother solved the legal wrangle by running amuck during a tournament in Ulaanbataar after an overdose of orange juice, thus losing all rights to care for the child. Oxenstierna sr. took Sven in, vowing that a) Sven should never drink orange juice again and b) Sven would get a heavier serve than his mother. So far, only a) has held true, and thus Oxenstierna remains a rather dull clay-court specialist who can run up any ball yet is prone to give away 5-2 leads on his own serve.
