US tennis player who won five Grand Slam titles and went on to become a successful Davis Cup captain
Tony Trabert, who has died aged 90, was an all-American athlete in every sense of the term, projecting a personality as powerful as his physique. He reaped the rewards of both during a long and highly successful career.
Although he went on to become a winning Davis Cup captain and long-time commentator for CBS television, Trabert will go into the record books as having enjoyed, in 1955, one of the most successful years in the history of tennis.
