With his bold black-and-white checkered headband and a brash crash-and-volley attack Pat Cash served notice on the tennis establishment before he ever played a professional match. He was a brilliant junior player: The top junior in the world in '81 and junior champion at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in '82. As a pro, he captured the Wimbledon trophy in 1987 - a straight sets victory that he followed by clambering up the hallowed walls to the players box for an emotional celebration with his family, his girlfriend and his coach. It's a Wimbledon tradition that numerous champions have shared in the years since. |
