  BIOGRAPHY

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.

 
  CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
In 1984, Cash made the semifinals at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
Pat reached the first of two consecutive Australian Open Finals in 1987, falling in a close five-setter to Stefan Edberg ('87) and an even closer five-setter to Mats Wilander ('88).
Cash achieved a remarkable feat as the youngest player (19) to ever compete in a Davis Cup final and even more remarkably, won the deciding singles point in a 3-2 defeat of Sweden. In '86 he repeated his heroics, winning the final singles over Sweden.
In 1987 he captured the Wimbledon crown, beating Wilander in the quarters, Jimmy Connors in the semis and Lendl in the final.
Cash reached his highest singles ranking (No.4) in 1988 and his highest doubles ranking (No.6) in 1984.
19 career titles: 7 in singles; 12 in doubles.
