Austin, Henry Wilfred

Austin, Henry Wilfred
▪ 2001
“Bunny” 
      British tennis player (b. Aug. 26, 1906, London, Eng.—d. Aug. 26, 2000, Coulsdon, Surrey, Eng.), was one of the world's highest-ranked players in the 1930s, twice a finalist at the All-England (Wimbledon) Championships (1932 and 1938), and a pivotal member of the British team that won four consecutive Davis Cups (1933–36), but he was best known as the first player to break with tradition (in 1932) and appear on court in shorts instead of the conventional white flannel trousers.
