Gene Scott by Richard Evans
I have been thinking about this; about how to write about a friend and a colleague called Gene Scott who was so many things to so many different people; an outstanding athlete who will be remembered for his inquiring, demanding intellect, not to mention his grace and charm.
And as this is a personal memoir, I searched for a particular aspect of our relationship; something that made Gene unique for me. And suddenly I realised something. [READ MORE].

Pancho Segura
We were having a beer late one evening at the bar of Lew Hoad’s Campo de Tenis near Mijas on the Costa del Sol. The man himself, a little heavier than in his hey-day but still handsome with his full head of blond hair, was talking tennis as he liked to do in his insightful, low key way.
If you asked questions of Hoadie you got straight answers with no bullshit. So one popped into my head and I asked, “What was the toughest shot you ever had to handle on a tennis court?” [READ MORE].

Happy 100th Birthday Dear Sir
Eduard Ricardo “Ted” Braithwaite, author of ground-breaking and thought provoking books turns 100 years old on June 27th this year.

From Tilden to Federer – Mulloy’s Grand Slam Life

Tall, athletic and movie-star handsome, Mulloy richly deserves the word “honor” because of his achievements on and off the tennis court. This includes being a decorated Lt. Commander in the Navy during WW2, surviving the bloody invasions at Anzio, Salerno and Normandy. [READ MORE].

From Tilden to Federer – Mulloy’s Grand Slam Life
King Arthur had his round table. Gladys Heldman had her round bed. A lot happened on that bed but not much of it had to do with the ever-supportive Julius who was banished to a cot in his dressing room while his dynamic wife was busy publishing and editing World Tennis magazine and creating the WTA tour.
It was the early 1970’s and the Heldmans had just left their penthouse apartment in New York overlooking Gracie Mansion and moved to Timberwilde, a leafy lane in a residential district of Houston, Texas. [READ MORE].
