15. Pancho Gonzalez
| He coulda been the Marlon Brando of tennis, but the best years of his tennis life were spent in exile as a barnstorming pro, while pasty-faced amateurs with half his talent won the Grand Slams. Tall, dark and handsome, with a growl for a voice and a scowl for a hello, he was still winning tournaments when he was a grandfather. If earth was on the line in a tennis match, the man you'd want serving to save humankind was Ricardo Alonso Gonzalez. |
