Tom Gorman is an American professional tennis player who turned pro in 1968, accumulating 9 career titles including 1 Masters tournament victory with his right-handed playing style.
This USA tennis player presents a moderate challenge for tennis enthusiasts. The 1968 professional debut immediately places this player in the Open Era's inaugural year, when tennis transitioned from amateur to professional status. American nationality helps provide context, as the United States produced numerous talented players during tennis's professional revolution in the late 1960s and 1970s.
The career statistics tell a story of solid success without breakthrough Grand Slam achievements - 9 career titles demonstrate consistent tournament victories, while 1 Masters title confirms success at the sport's second tier of prestige below Grand Slams. The right-handed playing style is the most common among tennis professionals, offering minimal distinguishing value. Zero Grand Slam titles indicate this player competed effectively but never captured tennis's most coveted trophies.
Tennis historians familiar with the Open Era's early years will find this more accessible than casual fans. The specific combination of American nationality with Masters success but no Grand Slam victories creates a profile that requires knowledge of 1970s tennis to identify correctly.
Moderate difficulty requiring knowledge of American tennis players from the early Open Era with Masters-level success but no Grand Slam titles.
The USA nationality establishes the player pool, while 1968 professional debut marks the beginning of the Open Era. Right-handed playing style is common, 9 career titles establish consistent success, zero Grand Slams eliminate major champions, and 1 Masters title confirms achievement at elite-but-not-Grand-Slam level.
