Abe Segal (born 23 October 1930 in Johannesburg) is a former South African tennis player. During the 1950s and '60s, he was the doubles partner of Gordon Forbes. Together, they were considered one of the best doubles teams in the world. Due to South Africa's policy of Apartheid, Alex Metreveli and István Gulyás both refused to compete in the 1964 Wimbledon against Segal, a white South African. This prompted the International Lawn Tennis Federation to pass a resolution prohibiting racial discrimination and dropping out of the tournament except due to "health or bereavement" In 1951 he won the singles title at the Irish Open defeating Guy Jackson in the final in straight sets. He played for the South African Davis Cup team in 19 ties in the years 1955, 57, 59, 61-65 and compiled a record of 24 wins and 14 losses. After retiring from tennis, Segal took up painting. In 2008 he published a memoir titled ''Hey Big Boy!''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】legacy of laughs by an ex No. 1 )">url=http://www.worldcat.org/title/hey-big-boy-a-legacy-of-laughs-by-an-ex-no-1/oclc/420872286 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://heybigboy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/tennis1.pdf )〕 ==Grand Slam finals== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abe Segal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
