Henry Ellsworth Vines Jr.
(September 28, 1911 – March 17, 1994) was an American
tennis
champion of the 1930s, the
World No. 1
player or the co-No. 1 for four years in 1932, 1935, 1936 and 1937, able to win Pro Slam titles on three different surfaces. He later became a
professional golfer
, and won three titles on the
PGA Tour
.
John Donald Budge
(June 13, 1915 – January 26, 2000) was an
American
tennis
player. He is most famous as the first player — of any nationality, male or female, and still the only American male — to win the four tournaments that comprise the
Grand Slam
of tennis in a single year.
Budge was the second male player to win all four Grand Slam events in his career after
Fred Perry
, and is still the youngest to achieve that feat. He won ten majors, of which six were
Grand Slam events
(consecutively, male record) and four
Pro Slams
, the latter achieved on three different surfaces. Budge was considered to have the best
backhand
in the history of tennis, at least until the emergence of
Ken Rosewall
in the 1950s and 1960s, although most observers rated Budge's backhand the stronger of the two.
He is also the only male player to have achieved the
triple crown
(winning singles, doubles and mixed at the same tournament) on three separate occasions, and the only one to have achieved it twice in one year.
