Vic Seixas: The fighter pilot who won Wimbledon but became a bartender
Posted Jun 29, 2023
"Gorgeous" is the first word former BBC commentator Christine Truman comes up with, when asked about Vic Seixas (UNC, 1949) – stockbroker, bartender, wartime pilot, and the oldest surviving grand-slam champion at 99 years and 302 days. Today, Seixas lives in Harbour Point, near San Francisco. He is still sharp and speaks warmly of his era of tennis.
