Writing about tennis legends

I’ve had the good fortune to see and meet some great tennis players who reside in the Tennis Hall of Fame. 

One is Rafael Osuna, a US Open singles champion, and one of the quickest players to ever step on a tennis court. 

Another is Pancho Segura whose two-handed forehand and backhand presaged things to come in the modern game. 

A third legend is Dennis Ralston (below)who miraculously is still hitting tennis balls despite a leg amputation. I first saw Dennis play during the early sixties in Santa Monica.
