British tennis player who won the Wimbledon junior title at 17 and later captained the Davis Cup team
Billy Knight, who has died aged 90, was a stalwart of British tennis long before Andy Murray changed the landscape of the game in the UK.
During the 1950s and 60s â an era that saw his compatriots Mike Davies, Bobby Wilson and Mike Sangster struggle to challenge the dominance of Australian and American players â Knight racked up 47 singles titles, won 21 of his 34 Davis Cup matches and earned a grand slam title at Roland Garros by teaming up with Mexicoâs Yola Ramirez to win the French mixed doubles crown. Earlier he had been a Wimbledon and Australian junior champion.
