| Von Cramm Cup |
 | | Vom Cramm in Action |
Baron Gottfried Von Cramm was Germany's most successful player until the emergence of Boris Becker and Michael Stich in the 1980s.
An elegant stylist, he won the French singles championship twice and the German title six times between 1932 and 1949. At Wimbledon, he was unfortunate to be a contemporary of Fred Perry and was the defeated finalist in three successive years, 1935, '36 and '37.
He won 82 of his 102 Davis Cup rubbers in 37 ties between 1932 and 1953.
He died in a motoring accident in Egypt in 1976.
The German Tennis Federation donated the Von Cramm Cup for men players in the 60 age category in 1989.
