Former professional tennis player, Pat Cash is a legend of the game who burst on to the scene as a youngster and went on to reach the ranking of number four in the world. The Australian born star was a fierce competitor in his prime and is now available to share stories from his time at the top as a keynote and after dinner speaker.
The youngest-ever competitor in a Davis Cup final, Pat was known for being the total package as a player, combining speed, strength, precision, and mental stamina. Reaching the final of the prestigious Grand Slam on five occasions, Pat won the Wimbledon Champions in 1987, becoming the first person to win both the Grand Slam Senior and Junior title. After the impressive win, Pat jumped into the Wimbledon stands to celebrate with his friends and family, an action that has since been made a tradition by later winners.
In addition to his Grand Slam success, Pat Cash also helped Australia to lift the Davis Cup on two occasions in 1983 and 1986, proving he was a force to be reckoned with on the court. Over the course of his career, he amassed a total of eighteen doubles and singles titles including the: Lorraine Open (1987), South African Open (1987) and Hong Kong Open 1990, an impressive trophy cabinet for a tennis player. After a lucrative career, and achieving global success, Pat retired in 1997 a champion.
Prior to garnering world recognition, Pat made waves in the junior divisions of the sport. Starting in the 80s in 1981 he gained the title of number 1 junior player in the world, shortly after he stole top prize at the 1982 Wimbledon and US Open. A champion from the outset, Pat was destined for the world stage and turned professional in 1982 aged only seventeen.
