American tennis champion
Kramer
(1921-2009)
won the U.S. National Doubles
(with Ted Schroeder)
in 1940 and 1941
and
won the event again in 1943, 1946 and 1947.
He also
won the doubles title at Wimbledon in 1947
and
led the doubles team that won the Davis Cup in 1946 and 1947.
Turning pro in 1947, he
won the professional singles title in 1948, the world professional singles title in 1949 and the world professional doubles (with Bobby Riggs) in 1949.
Kramer, whose
name appeared on some 30 million Wilson tennis racquets
, began promoting tournaments in 1952 and retired from tennis in 1954 to concentrate on tourneys. Credited with being an influential force in the game, Kramer not only promoted the game but he also helped young players at clinics, helped coach Davis Cup players and
worked tirelessly for open tennis, which would allow professional players to compete against amateurs. He accomplished the latter goal in 1968, when the U. S. National became the U. S. Open.
American tennis player
TED
SCHROEDER
(1921-2006), born Frederick Rudolph Schroeder, Jr., first met tennis player Jack Kramer on the court when they were both 13-year-olds in 1935. The two were later
members of the American Davis Cup team that won back-to-back victories in 1946 and 1947.
Schroeder
played on the U. S. Davis Cup team from 1946 to1951,
where he
compiled an 11-3 record.
In addition to his
1949 win at Wimbledon,
Schroeder also
won the 1942 U.S. National singles title.
After retiring from tennis, Schroeder became a commentator on the sport for radio and newspapers, covering the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
