Remembering Pancho Segura

Pancho Segura Dies at 96 - Washington Post
Another tennis great from the past has passed away.   He was the world Co-number-one in  1950 and 1951.

Segura Knows the Score
He was a master of tennis in knowledge, strategy, skill.  Self Taught.

Coached Jimmy Connors - Star Tribune
Segura was instrumental in the Connors success in 1974 at Wimbledon and the US Open where he crushed Ken Rosewall in both matches.  At Wimbledon in 1974 when Connors crushed Ken Rosewall in the final it was Segura who cheered and again at the US Open.  He predicted that Connors would become the King of Wimbledon and though not accurate completely he was an early cheerleader for Jimmy Connors as a force in tennis.   Connors later writes that he regrets pushing Segura out of his entourage.
