One of an elite cast of men to win the Wimbledon singles title without the loss of a set, McKinley was a competitor of exhilarating verve and audacity who would not shy away from diving for volleys or attempting to retrieve balls that were seemingly well out of reach. Because he gave so much of himself in his matches and displayed such brio on the biggest stages of the sport, McKinley was clearly among the most charismatic players of the early 1960s. He passed away far too young at 45 of a brain tumor in 1986.
