The contract Davies signed made him a rebel and locked him out of the game
This episode explores the life of Mike Davies, a figure systematically erased by the tennis establishment who then spent decades rebuilding the sport from within. It delves into the personal cost of proving oneself to an institution that initially rejected him.
Person: Mike Davies
Born: January 9, 1936
Location: Swansea, Wales
Event: Wimbledon doubles final in 1960
Status: British number one in 1958-1960
- Mike Davies, born in a working port city, picked up a tennis racket at age eleven and was noticed by legends Fred Perry and Dan Maskell.
- He trained for three consecutive winters in Australia under Harry Hopman, alongside future stars like Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall.
- By 1958, Davies was ranked number one in Great Britain and reached the Wimbledon doubles final in 1960, a British male record that stood for 52 years.
- In 1960, Davies signed a contract with Jack Kramer for £4,500 per year, a declaration against the amateur system that paid players nothing officially.
- Signing the contract meant the All England Club would cancel his membership, he would be ineligible for Davis Cup, and all Grand Slams would close their gates to him.
