Richard "Pancho" Gonzales: Tennis Champion

128 pp. | Enslow | August, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-89490-891-X $$19.95
(4) YA Hispanic Biographies series. Mexican-American Pancho Gonzales became a world champion tennis player in the 1950s at a time when other champions were whites from wealthy backgrounds. The author writes of Gonzales's working-class background and emphasizes the discrimination he overcame to win recognition and respect. The poorly reproduced black-and-white photographs add little to an otherwise readable biography. Bib., ind.
