Why Is Gerald Moss Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Gerald 'Jerry' H. Moss is a retired American tennis player. Career Moss was the National Boys Under 18 Champion in 1951. In 1955 Moss was runner-up at the U.S. National Championships men's doubles title at the Longwood Cricket Club in Boston with compatriot Bill Quillian after a five-set defeat to Japanese Kosei Kamo and Atsushi Miyagi. Hurricane Diane roared through New England in August 1955, flooding the tennis courts and delaying the tournament for a week. When the tournament resumed many of the leading players such as Ken Rosewall, Tony Trabert, Lew Hoad and Vic Seixas had already left which devalued the men's doubles draw.
