Philip Picuri, shown here with Piccolo, grew up playing tennis with his Dad in Los Angeles. They would often play at the Beverly Hills Tennis Club, where he saw Pancho Gonzalez, Pancho Segura, and Gussie Moran playing. He returned to his native Switzerland in his early twenties to study electrical engineering. He played tournaments and interclub championships for close to 40 years in Zurich, playing at 4.5 – 5.0 levels, winning a number of tournaments. Still a very active player, and being a very techy guy, he has compensated for growing older by improving his tennis technique thanks to Tennisplayer.net.
