At age 43, he won the Wimbledon doubles title with Budge Patty and helped the U.S. Davis Cup team reach the final.He would have turned 103 on Nov. 22.I was older than most of the players of my era, and usually I was in better shape than them, he said in a 1997 interview. I won almost all of my five-set matches. I didnt drink or smoke, and I watched my diet.In his 80s, Mulloy was tennis director emeritus on posh Fisher Island. He gave half a dozen lessons a week, charging $30 for 30 minutes, and his hitting partners then included Boris Becker and Jim Courier.In his prime, Mulloy took defeat badly, feuded with the USTA and Wimbledon, and became known as the Miami Mouthpiece.Gardnar Mulloy, wrote one London columnist, should throw his racquet over a cliff and forget to let go.Mulloy grew up near the Miami River and lived in the same neighborhood most of his life. He began playing tennis at age 8 on a court in his backyard and quickly took to the game.I went out for the team my freshman year in high school, and in about 20 minutes I was No. 1, he said.Also an accomplished boxer, diver and quarterback, Mulloy attended the University of Miami on a football scholarship but played little.I finally went to the president of the university and said: `Im too skinny, Im getting beat up and my father doesnt like it. Why dont you have a tennis team?He said, `Why dont you start one up? So I did. I got Bobby Riggs and Jack Kramer to come out for the team. The football players used to call us all sissies.Mulloy graduated with a law degree in 1938 and cracked the U.S. top-10 rankings before World War II took him off the tournament circuit.
