22: Don Budge-Tennis

January 23, 2018

Don Budge rose to the top of the tennis world in the 1930s. In fact, he is one of the greatest to ever play the game and in 1938 did the unthinkable – win each of tennis’s Grand Slam events. Rod Laver who won the Grand Slam in 1962 and again in 1969 is the only other player to do so. Marshall Jon Fisher, author of “A Terrible Splendor” a terrific book about one of the greatest tennis matches ever played, is the guest on this edition of SFH to talk about the terrific career of this forgotten hero.
