Marc C. Flur (born June 8, 1962) is a former professional tennis player from the United States. [1]
Flur was born in New York but grew up in Vermont. [2]
He played collegiate tennis for Duke University. A member of the Duke Hall of Fame, he is considered to be the greatest tennis player in the school's history. In 1983 he won both All-American selection and the ACC Player of the Year award. He was a winner of five ACC Championships, two of them in singles. [3]
The American took part in all four Grand Slam tournaments in 1985 and reached the second round in three of them. [4] This included two wins over British player Jeremy Bates. [4] The only other time he made it past the first round was in the 1987 US Open, where he defeated Christian Saceanu in five sets. [4] At the US Open the following year, he had his best doubles result, making the third round, with partner Sammy Giammalva, Jr. [4] Two years earlier, the pair had been runners-up in the Livingston Open, the only Grand Prix final that Flur would ever play in. [4] As a singles player, the furthest he went was a semi-final appearance in the 1987 Livingston Open. [4] The only other occasion that he had three wins in a tournament was at Delray Beach in 1985. [4] One of those victories was over world number 15 Joakim Nyström. [4]
