THE DICK SAVITT NO-SHOW

Tennis player Dick Savitt has died aged 95. His first love was basketball, but his aspirations for the hoops were quashed by a knee injury and rerouted him to the racket. He won Wimbledon in 1951 and made history as the first Jewish player to do so. Other trophies include three US National Indoor Championships and two gold medals at the 1961 Maccabiah Games. He was a unique for Sportspeople I Think Might Die in 2023 United.
