Lou Russo

Russo was one of the most versatile players ever, winning titles in all versions of the game in singles and doubles. He is the only player to win national doubles titles in all versions in one year (1969), a feat he accomplished with three different partners.

Russo had wins over the game’s all-time greats, including Fred Lewis, Naty Alvarado and Paul Haber. “Little Louie” grew up in New York and played at the famed Castle Hill Beach Club.
