How about John Van Ryn, Class of 1928? Before being inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1963, he ...
— won the intercollegiate doubles championship in 1927
— won the Wimbledon doubles championship three times (1929-31)
— won the 1931 French Open doubles championship
— won the U.S. National Championship in doubles two times
— with his partner, Wilmer Allison, went 14-2 in Davis Cup doubles (a record surpassed only by John McEnroe and Peter Fleming at 14-1!)
— was also an accomplished singles player, advancing to the quarterfinals seven times in the majors
“Johnny” was certainly the most accomplished Princeton tennis player — and deserves a place high on the list.
