Edgar Moon

Edgar Moon, known as Gar, was a tennis player from Australia, born on 3 December 1904 and died on 26 May 1976, who was best known for winning the 1930 Australian Championships men's singles title, beating Harry Hopman in the final in straight sets. In 1932 he also won the men's doubles with Jack Crawford, so he took all three men's titles at the championships, having won the mixed doubles in 1929 with Daphne Akhurst and again in 1934 with Joan Hartigan. He grew up in Queensland, attended Brisbane Grammar School and was largely self-taught, practising on his parents' clay court. He played Wimbledon in 1928, reaching the fourth round, and played two Davis Cup ties for Australia in 1930, winning all four of his singles matches.
