player. Known for his powerful backhand and strong volley, Trabert
amassed 13 U.S. titles in singles and doubles, and was one of only two
Americans (the other was Art Larsen) to win singles championships on all four
tennis surfaces: grass (Forest Hills), indoor, clay court and hard court. A
member of the U.S. Davis Cup team from 1951-1955, he returned to the team
as Captain in 1976, leading Cup-winning teams in 1978 and 1979. Trabert,
who became a teaching pro and television tennis commentator when his
playing career ended, was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame
in 1970. Fine condition.
