Tony Trabert, 5-time singles champion and number 1 tennis player, dies
Tony Trabert, a five-time Grand Slam singles champion and former No. 1 player who made a successful career as captain, broadcaster and executive of the Davis Cup, has passed away. He was 90.
Members of the Tennis Hall of Fame passed away at his home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida on Feb. 3, it was confirmed by his daughter, Brooke Trabert Dabkowski.
Trabert won three of the four major singles titles, including Wimbledon and the US Nationals, in 1955 without losing a set. He was No. 1 in singles in 1953 and 1955.
Trabert has also won five Grand Slam men’s doubles titles, including four with Vic Seixas. Trabert won all of his major titles as an amateur before turning professional pro and being part of the long battle for open tennis.
When I won Wimbledon, I got a 10-pound certificate worth $ 27 at a sporting goods store, Trabert said.
Trabert said the highlight of his career was helping the United States defeat Australia in the 1954 Davis Cup final. As captain of the Davis Cup, he led his team to titles in 1978 and 1979.
Trabert was a broadcaster for over 30 years, including for CBS at the US Open. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1970. In 2001, he began an 11-year term as President of the Hall.
He was not only a great example for all of us to become great champions, but also as a wise coach and mentor, an honest and effective leader, someone who gave back to the sport, and a great ambassador for tennis. said current President of the Hall of Fame, Stan Smith.
Born August 16, 1930, Marion Anthony Trabert grew up in Cincinnati near public hard courts and took full advantage. In 1951, he won the NCAA Singles Championship for the University of Cincinnati and was a starter on the basketball team.
From 1953 to 1955, Trabert won 38 singles titles and was 5-0 in the grand finals, each against a different opponent. A loss to Ken Rosewall in the semi-finals of the Australian championships prevented Trabert from completing a Grand Slam in 1955.
Trabert’s first major title was in 1953 with the US Nationals. He won his first French Open title in 1954 and a year later became the last American to win at Roland Garros until Michael Chang in 1989.
Trabert said the best players in its heyday rivaled those of the modern generation.
The depth is much greater now than when I played, he said in a 2011 interview with a Cincinnati TV station. There are more good players today. I’m not too sure the best players today are better than the best players when we played. No one will ever know. But you didn’t have to beat as many good players to win a tournament when I played as they do now.
