Question 955: Burnt to the ground

The frequency of sports questions on Quizlexic is less, so here's one:

When this player received a letter from a fan which conveyed: "Why did God have to select you for such a bad disease?" X replied: "Listen. 50 million children around the world start playing Y(the sport). 5 million learn to play Y. 500,000 learn professional Y. 50,000 come to the circuit. 5000 reach the Z. 50 reach X. 8 reach the Quarterfinals. 4 to the Semifinals. 2 to the Finals. When i was holding it, i never asked God: Why me? So why now in pain should I be asking Him: WHY ME?

Identify the player. Give X, Y and Z too if you are in the mood to waste time...
Answer: Arthur Ashe, need I say more?
