Charles Robert McKinley Jr. (1941 to 1986) was an American amateur tennis champion of the 1960s, rated the best in the world by many experts at the end of 1963. Born in St. Louis, he studied at Trinity University and reached the 1961 Wimbledon final, losing to Rod Laver. In 1963 he won the Wimbledon men's singles without dropping a set, and with Dennis Ralston he won the 1963 Davis Cup for the United States, ending a long run of Australian dominance. He also took three U.S. men's doubles titles with Ralston. Known as a relentless, undersized competitor with a fiery temperament, he earned a reputation as the bad boy of international tennis.
