		Gonzales was given a 51-cent racquet by his mother when he was 12 years old and taught himself to play by watching other players on the public courts at nearby Exposition Park in Los Angeles.
		Gonzales was badly beaten in his first year on the professional tour, 96 matches to 27, by the reigning king of professional tennis, Jack Kramer.
		Gonzales, however, revamped and improved his backhand during the course of these first matches, just as Bill Tilden had had to do in 1920 in order to become the best in the world, and then won 42 of the next 60 matches to maintain his superiority by a margin of 51 to 36.

	Pancho Gonzales-better than Laver? - Talk Tennis
		Gonzales was not only beating their hero then, he was doing it in five-set matches when serious money (for that era, the early ’70s) and pride and prestige were all on the line.
		Reference to that record is meaningless because Gonzales was banned from trying for it from the age of twenty-one on, once he turned professional at that age in 1949 before open tennis began in 1968, by which time Gonzales was thirty-nine, a circumstance that effectively exiled him from the conventional record-books for life.
		Pancho is a bit of a dark horse in tennis history, not many people have seen him in his prime, because he played outside the big venues on the often forgotten pro tour.

	Guardian \| Pancho wins the longest match
		Pancho Gonzales, aged 41, and former champion of the world but never of Wimbledon, beat time, weariness, and expectation in defeating Charlie Pasarell, the best first-day player in the tournament, as both Santana and Rosewall remember, 22-24, 1-6, 16-14, 6-3, 11-9.
		Gonzales was so tired that he could scarcely hold his racket, but he saved himself - twice from 0-40 - and went on to win the match.
		Gonzales, who had always moved as economically as possible, attacked with swifter purpose as he saw Pasarell wilting mentally.

		Gonzales, 45, and Segura, 52, have never been much for playing mixed doubles in some haven of retirement and now they have joined a new group called the Tennis Grand Masters, which, believe it or not, is at peace with all the other groups in the sport.
		Gonzales won easily 6-4,6-4, then had some more laughs the next day with Hugh Stewart, who beat him in his first tournament when they were both 14.
		Gonzales was never in danger in the final, and in the stands there were admiring comments from his fellow Masters on the lone wolf's graceful coverage of the court.

	Richard Pancho Gonzales Legendary Tennis Players
		His backhand is, perhaps, a shade unsound and breaks up under extreme pressure, a thing on which players of equal class capitalize, but it is not a structural weakness so much as a tendency to hurry his shot.
		He is married, the father of a young child, and this move should give him and his family the security he could not provide so quickly in any other way.
		Pancho is the most interesting and distinctive figure to rise in tennis since the war, and his appearance was like a tonic to amateur tennis, which was slowly dying of dry rot.

		First, both he and Gonzales distinguished themselves as masters of the grind of the pro tours for many years -- however Kramer was the more accomplished tournament player, as evidenced by his Wimbledon victory of 1947, still probably the most dominant run to the title in Wimbledon history.
		Gonzales fans like to point out that their man improved later, but it is equally true that Kramer began to decline around 1952, as he was plagued by back injuries and began devoting much of his attention to his duties as tour promotor.
		He was the only pro to give Gonzales a run for his money in his prime, though after leading Gonzales early in their series he succombed to a bad back (it is also argued that Gonzales successfully changed his backhand in order to beat Hoad).

		Gonzales has always been known as a great attacker, but he is equally great in the role of a defensive player.

		The amazing thing is that if would have been even longer had not Gonzales had a tantrum and thrown the second set because the umpire Harold Duncombe refused to go off for bad light at the end of the day, despite three requests for him to call referee Captain Mike Gibson.
		Gonzales, who had won the US Open 20 years earlier, was 41 at the time and in those days they did not sit down at the change of ends, but simply wiped the perspiration away, downed a mouthful of barley water and got on with it.
		By this time the crowd, who had booed Gonzales for his complaints at the end of the first day, got right behind him.
