I believe that Pancho Segura and Pancho Gonzales were two of the greatest players of all time. Most tennis historians would not argue with the nomination of Gonzales as a possible GOAT and unfortunately for Segura, he was number two to Gonzales for a good part of his career. Both players won many major championships and could beat anybody in the game. They were very different players with Gonzales pretty much the big hitter and aggressive allcourt serve/volley player, and one of the biggest servers to ever play. Segura was a master technical player, great defender, and capable of almost any shot. He used dual hands for both FH and BH and many in the game, including Kramer believed his 2handed FH to be one of the greatest weapons ever in the history of tennis. Both players mostly played in the wood era, although Gonzales played and won many chapionships well past 40 years of age, at which time he was playing metal.
I made this post to show two very impressive autograph decal wood rackets for these two greats. Check out the pics showing how the manufactures, Spalding in this case, would use the signature and/or photo picture of the endorsing player.:
