Dick Horwitz Obituary
I am arguably part of the best tennis family in the game's world history. Read my two obituaries and learn why.

If it is not clear from my two obituraries, let me add the following regarding why college tennis does not rise to the level of being considered a right of passage.
If a player has taken the time to obtain a college degree, the chances of that player winning one of the grand slam tournaments in singles are not good.
The stark reality is that beginning with Wimbledon in 1877, the U.S. Open in 1881, the French Open in 1891, and the Australian Open in 1905, the number of players to have won a grand slam tournament in singles and have obtained a college degree before doing so are, if at all, few and
far between.
