First Black Players Break Barriers in U S Tennis Opens
In 1952 Dr Reginald Weir becomes the first Black man to compete at the U S Championships two years after Althea Gibson. Weir loses in four sets to William Stucks as Gibson had broken color barriers earlier in the tourney. In 1968 the U S Championships begin open tennis with Billie Jean King winning the Stadium match and Ray Moore and Jim Osborne upsetting pro rivals. Moore defeats Andres Gimeno and Osborne beats Barry MacKay in four sets. In 1973 Forth, led by Ralph Baldwin, wins the Hambletonian Stakes in straight heats.
