Danie Visser

Danie Visser is a former professional tennis player from South Africa, born in 1961 and educated at Afrikaanse Hoer Seunskool in Pretoria. He was a doubles specialist who reached the world number one doubles ranking in January 1990 and won three Grand Slam men's doubles titles: the Australian Open and the US Open in 1990 with fellow South African Pieter Aldrich, and the Australian Open again in 1993 with Laurie Warder. The Visser and Aldrich pair were also Wimbledon doubles runners-up in 1990. He won his first of 17 career doubles titles at Bristol in 1985 and his last at Manchester in 1994, and his best singles ranking was world number 59 in 1984. His record is a clear example of a South African doubles career at the top of the men's game around the turn of the 1990s.
