Bob Wrenn was the first left-hander to win the U.S. Singles Championships, taking that crown four times. With his right-handed brother George, he played for the U.S. Davis Cup team in 1903. A versatile athlete, he went to Harvard University and played not only tennis but football and baseball as well. A very determined player, he moved swiftly around the court and knew precisely when to use the lob to get out of danger.
