Jan-Michael Charles Gambill (born June 3, 1977 in Spokane, WA, U.S.A.) is an American tennis player who made his professional debut in 1996. His highest singles ranking to date is No. 14, which he first reached on 18 June 2001. Best known for his unusual double-handed forehand, he is coached by his father Chuck Gambill, who also coaches Jan-Michael's younger brother Torrey.
Gambill began playing tennis at the age of five, looking up to tennis greats Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe. Known for his good looks, washboard-like abdominal muscles, and hot temper, he often turns his seat away from his opponents during matches. He has defeated, among others, current world number one Roger Federer and former world number ones Carlos Moyà, Lleyton Hewitt, Pete Sampras, and Andre Agassi.
Gambill is sponsored by Prince for both his racquets and apparel. He currently resides in Hawaii.
Gambill is currently playing for the Boston Lobsters in the World Team Tennis league.
