Andy Roddick, you can see from a mile away he is an American, rememinds me of stiffler, cocky + funny combo.
Sam Querrey and Opelka have very american faces (as of white american mix of British/Irish/German/etc blahblah) so does Isner but in a much more attractive way.
Hewitt has a bit of the australian surfer dude looks, also abit preppy aussie attitude.
I think Moya, Ferrer and Robredo all used to look very spanish, specially Moya with long hair and sleeveless shirt. Fabio looks and acts italian to the bone, Berretini has only the looks but lacks the acting. Gaston gaudio looked very argentinean imo, I can spot him from amile away, so did Vilas, at least those from Buenos aires area. Kuerten is easily recognozeable as brazilian, particularly from the south of the country.
As for Very german looking players, I say Tommy Haas has a very german looking face and Becker just for the sake of being quite blond and fair featured and relatively tall in a big boned way. Stefan Edberg looked like the stereotypical swede we all have in mind, and Novak.. I see him and I right away know he is a Serbian or at least from finaric alps region, the whole family of nole looks extremely balkan. Murray and Family look also very Scottish, kind of vampire features and sort of colouring lol.
Hope ot doesn't come as offensive just wanted to pintpoint how many of the current tennis players are fitting so much their stereotypical country looks.
For france.. well france is quite diverse even without the immigration of the last 50 years, Giles Simon, Gasquet and Paire all have very French faces, even though quite different from eachother. Tsonga looks like the stereotypical french Id think as being half native half foreign background
Other examples?
