Ricardo Alonso "Pancho" Gonzalez (1928-1995) was probably as good as anyone who
ever played the game of tennis, if not better. His Grand Slam record includes
wins at the U.S. Open (singles, 1948-1949), the French Open (doubles, 1949) and
Wimbledon (doubles, 1949). In 1968, at 40, he beat second-seeded Tony Roche
to reach the quarters of the initial U.S. Open. A year later, this grandfather
(literally) electrified Wimbledon (which had been opened to pros in 1968) by
overcoming Charlie Pasarel in the tournament's longest match, 112 games, a
first-rounder that consumed 5 hours, 12 minutes, a major tourney record that
stood until 1992. The 6-foot-3 Gonzales was especially noted for his great
serve, which was once clocked at 112 mph. Fine condition.
