Haroon Rahim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haroon Rahim, (born 12 November 1949), was the youngest tennis player ever to play for Pakistan in the Davis Cup at 15 years of age. He was also the highest ranking Pakistani tennis player ever. He led the UCLA team to victory with Jeff Borowiak and Jimmy Connors in 1970-71.
He was from the cosmopolitan city of Lahore, from a large family of avid tennis players. His father, Mir Abdur Rahim, was a civil servant who encouraged his children, sons and daughters, to play tennis. His father loved tennis so much that he said he wanted to die on the tennis court. In 1968, he did exactly that.
