Biography
Bob Wrenn was the first left-hander to win the U.S. Singles Championships, taking that crown four times. With his right-handed brother George, he played for the U.S. Davis Cup team in 1903. In the final against the British Isles at the Longwood Cricket Club, they were defeated 1-4 and Wrenn lost both his singles matches against Reginald and Lawrence Doherty as well as the doubles against the Doherty brothers.
A versatile athlete, he went to Harvard University and played not only tennis but football and baseball as well. A very determined player, he moved swiftly around the court and knew precisely when to use the lob to get out of danger.
Wrenn was vice-president of the United States Tennis Association from 1902 until 1911 and president from 1912 until 1915.
Robert was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1955.
