PANCHO SEGURA HAS BEEN

THE BEST TROUPER IN JACK KRAMER'S CIRCUS

By

DEREK JOHN

Professional lawn tennis will never be quito the same again. For I cannot believe that we shall ever see another lion- hearted little fighter of the calibre of Francisco "Pancho' Segura who has decided to retire within the next year.

Segura never won a major singles title as an amateur; he never became a Wimbledon star. Yet in my book he rates as one of the greatest players of all time and certainly the best trouper ever to strike the dollar-paved road with Jack Kramer's circus.

He lacks the height of his

Segura, born in Guayaquil, Just south of the equator in Ecuador, had a rough childhood and helped to boost the family income by working as a ball boy, lle often went hungry.

How rich has he become in professional tennis? **My re- gular earnings for some time now have averaged round 40,000 dollars (£14,000) J year," he says.

"Mind, I have plenty of ex- penses. I'm the Alimony kid" and can use all the cash 1 gél. But where else could a games player collect so much

cash regularly?" Segura has a '50,000-dollar divorce suit on his hands. In June his attractive, fair-haired wife, Virginia, announced in Los Angeles that she was divorcing him after 12 years of married lite that has inevitably been a series of long partings. They have a six-year-old son named Spencer,
