Kramer, Jack (1921– )

US tennis player and promoter. He enjoyed a successful amateur career, winning the US Open (1946, 1947) and Wimbledon (1947), before turning professional and combining playing with tournament promotion. Kramer founded the International Grand Prix of Tennis and was the first executive director of the Association of Tennis Professionals, which represented male players.
