James Spencer Courier (born August 17, 1970) is an American former world No. 1 tennis player. Courier won four major singles titles, two at the French Open and two at the Australian Open, and was the youngest man to reach the singles finals of all four majors, at the age of 22 years and 11 months. He also won five Masters titles and was part of the victorious United States Davis Cup teams in 1992 and 1995. Since 2005 he has worked as a tennis commentator, notably for Nine (and previously Seven), the host broadcaster of the Australian Open. He is also an analyst for Tennis Channel and Prime Video Sport.
