Marion Anthony Trabert (born August 16, 1930) is a former American World No. 1 tennis champion and long-time tennis author, TV commentator, instructor, and motivational speaker. In his 1979 autobiography Jack Kramer, the long-time tennis promoter and great player himself, included Trabert in his list of the 21 greatest players of all time. Trabert was the No. 1 ranked player in the world in both 1953 and 1955 and the winner of ten major titles - five in singles and five in doubles. Trabert took his keen mind and aptitude for tennis and created a career that included two French singles championships (1954, 1955), two U.S. National Men's Singles Championships (1953, 1955) and one Wimbledon Gentlemen Singles championship (1955). Until Michael Chang won the French Open in 1989, Trabert was the last American to hoist the championship trophy.
