Dick Savitt, the tennis Hall of Famer, who won the men’s singles championships at the 1951 Australian and Wimbledon Grand Slam tournaments, died on Jan. 6 at his home in Manhattan. He was 93.

Savitt became the second American to win both the Australian and Wimbledon’s men’s major titles in a calendar year. Don Budge had accomplished the feat in 1938. Only Jimmy Connors (1974) and Pete Sampras (1994 and 1997) have matched them.

Savitt was ranked among the top 10 American players six times in the 1950s and among the world’s top 10 four times. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1976.
