Kuerten and Capriati lead Hall of Fame inductees for 2012

Gustavo Kuerten and Jennifer Capriati will both be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday. The duo will be among five people enshrined at a ceremony at the Hall of Fame, situated in Newport, Rhode Island. Kuerten is a three-time French Open champion, whose success on the ATP World Tour also saw him become world number one. Teen prodigy Capriati also won three Grand Slam titles - two in Australia and one in France - and was another to reach the summit of the rankings. Both have been nominated for the 'recent player' category. Also to be inducted on Saturday are former US Open champion Manuel Orantes, in the 'master player' category, and Randy Snow, who has been elected posthumously for his accomplishments as a wheelchair player. Briton Mike Davies completes this year's inductee list. The promoter and administrator has spent more than 40 years in the sport and is credited with introducing the tie-break and yellow balls to the professional game.
