Biography

Patty was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas, United States.

In 1950, he won the men's singles title at the French Championships defeating Egypt's Jaroslav Drobný in a five-set match. A few weeks later he also won the Wimbledon Championships in a four-set victory over Australian Frank Sedgman.[2] Only two other American male players have achieved this double victory: Don Budge in 1938 and Tony Trabert in 1955.

Patty was ranked World No. 1 in 1950 by John Olliff of The Daily Telegraph.[1]

He was inducted in the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1977.[3]
