Fascinated by the history of tennis, Malcolm Whitman’s Tennis Origins and Mysteries was published in 1931, more than three decades after he had written himself into other historical accounts of the sport. Whitman captured the U.S. Championships three years in a row. He played on the inaugural American Davis Cup squad, and in the 1900 and 1902 Challenge Rounds against Great Britain, he was unbeaten in that storied team competition. The 6’2” Whitman used his height and reach to take control at the net.
