In today’s Legends of Kentucky tennis conversation, Dennis Emery talks with Gary Plock.
Gary was inducted into the Kentucky Tennis Hall of Fame in 1986 and is one of the top 10 male players in the state of Kentucky’s history. Gary was top 10 in the United States in the juniors, a member of the US Junior Davis Cup Team as well as ranking number one in Kentucky for many years.
Gary was one of only three who won four consecutive state high school championships. He played collegiately at the University of Texas where his career was highlighted with a NCAA doubles finalist run in 1978. Included in that run was a win over John McEnroe and Bill Maze of Stanford in the semifinals. His successful professional career was cut short due to an elbow injury.
Gary discusses the Louisville tennis scene in the 1970s and his friendships and rivalries with many players in the area including Jackie Cooper.
