Thought that Martin Lee looked a good prospect and he made top 100 or thereabouts but struggled to make a further impact.

 Bobby Wilson was born on the 22nd November 1935. He was runner-up in the mens doubles at Wimbledon in 1960 with Mike Davies.(an all British combination)

 Would make sense I saw him around 1980 when he must have been 45!

Good to see Martin Lee doing well, a name people tend to forget but he did reach top 100, I think. Didnt he reach an ATP Tour Final as well?
