A bit about Segura, Pancho ...

Pancho Segura, born Francisco Olegario Segura (June 20, 1921) is a tennis player. He was born in in Guayaquil, Ecuador, but moved to the United States in the late 1930s and is therefore considered an American athlete. He is a man of short stature, no more than 5'6" (1.68 m), with badly bowed legs from the rickets that he suffered as a child. But he compensated for then with extremely fast footwork and a devastating two-handed forehand that his frequent adversary and the future tennis impresario Jack Kramer once called "The greatest single shot ever produced in tennis".
