Don Budge

John Donald Budge (June 13, 1915 – January 26, 2000) was an American tennis player. He was known as the first tennis player to win all four Grand Slam events. Budge is thought to have been one of the best backhands in the history of tennis.

In December 1999, Budge was injured in a car crash and he never fully recovered. He died on January 26, 2000, at a nursing home in Scranton, Pennsylvania, aged 84.
