MIAMI -- Gardnar Mulloy, a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame who won 129 U.S. national titles and played competitively into his 90s, has died at age 102.The longtime Miami resident died Monday night, said his wife, Jackie.Mulloy won five Grand Slam doubles titles, was ranked No. 1 in the United States in 1952 and started the University of Miami tennis program. He swept United States Tennis Association grand slams in three age groups: 45s, 70s and 80s.Mulloy had plenty of personality, too. Outspoken, opinionated and occasionally ill-mannered, he was tennis ugly American before John McEnroe was even born -- and endlessly entertaining.Gardnar was a real treasure to our sport, said Stan Smith, president of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. His personality was as charismatic off the court as he was fiery on it. He was always great fun to be around, and he will be missed.Mulloy, who served in the Navy during World War II, was 31 when the war ended, and his tennis career had barely begun. 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. He spent four years in the U.S. Navy and in 2015 received the French Legion of Honour for his service. 76ers Jerseys 2020 .

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The?University of North Carolina?on Friday will meet with the NCAA for a jurisdictional meeting -- and not a Committee on Infractions?hearing -- a team spokesperson told ESPN on Wednesday.In its response to the NCAAs notice of allegations, the university argued that the NCAA did not have the right to punish the school for academic issues because it was not in the national organizations purview.The NCAA membership worked long and hard studying and trying to decide what should and shouldnt be a bylaw, what is and is not within the manual, athletic director Bubba Cunningham said. The quality of the class, we understand and have said for some time didnt meet our normal standards, but that doesnt mean its a violation of a bylaw.The school will make that fformal argument Friday to the NCAA in the form of a hearing, senior associate athletic director Steve Kirschner said.dddddddddddd Essentially, UNC is arguing that the NCAA long has stayed out of the business of determining academic merit and therefore cannot penalize the Tar Heels for what is essentially a non-athletics issue.Kirschner said he does not expect an immediate resolution, but that until a decision is made, a meeting with the actual Committee on Infractions will not be scheduled.Jurisdictional hearings are uncommon, Kirschner said.
