Tony Trabert (Marion Anthony Trabert, 16 August 1930 to 3 February 2021) was an American tennis player from Cincinnati, Ohio, ranked the world number one amateur by several sources in 1953, 1954 and 1955. He won ten Grand Slam titles, five in singles and five in doubles, including two French singles championships, two United States National singles championships and the 1955 Wimbledon singles title. In 1955 he took the French, Wimbledon and United States titles in the same season, winning Wimbledon and the United States Championships without losing a set, and compiled a 106 to 7 match record with a 38-match winning streak. He played for the United States in the Davis Cup in the early 1950s, helping the Americans win the cup in 1954. After serving in the Navy during the Korean War and winning the 1951 NCAA singles title at the University of Cincinnati, he turned professional in late 1955 on a tour run by Jack Kramer, won the French Pro Championships in 1956 and 1959, and later worked as a tennis author, television commentator and instructor.
