  Manuel Martinez Santana, 1985 Enshrinee: International Tennis Hall of Fame   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
One of the masters of legerdemain, Manuel Martinez "Manolo" Santana was the first post-World War II European to gain universal respect because he not only won the most difficult clay-court event, the French singles in 1961 and 1964, but also the grass-court gems, Wimbledon of 1966 and the U.S. Championship of 1965 at Forest Hills.
In 1965 Santana became a national hero in Spain and was decorated by the country's leader, Francisco Franco, with the coveted Medal of Isabella, qualifying for the title "Ilustrissimo".
Santana came out of retirement briefly in 1973 to play his last season of Davis Cup, and again in 1974 to act as player-coach for New York in the new World Team Tennis League.

 Encyclopedia: Manuel Santana
Manuel Martinez Santana (born May 10, 1938) was a Spanish male tennis player.
In 1965, Santana, who had begun his career as a ball boy and "picked up" the game, led Spain to unexpected victory over the USA in the Davis Cup, and he became a national hero, receiving the public approval of the Spanish dictator, General Franco.
Despite his previous successes, Santana's win at the 1966 Wimbledon lawn tennis championships was a surprise, and he never won a Grand slam tournament again.

 USCA1 Opinion 99-1030
Santana points out that the indictment alleged an attempt "in or about September of 1993." He argues that, except for records showing telephone calls to his home from the homes of other co-conspirators, there was no evidence that he participated in the effort to bring marijuana directly from Colombia in September.
Similarly, the government needed to counter Santana's claim that he was just a fisherman who liked the waters off St. Thomas and who was innocently caught up with others who, if they intended a crime, had not told him their purpose.
Santana does not argue that the district court could not fairly have concluded that he was the captain of a boat intended to be used to carry marijuana.
