| Bio | His career was marked by victories over John Newcombe and Dick Stockton. Twice he defeated Ramish Krishman, the No. 1 player from India. He toppled Italian Andriano Panatta, the 1976 French Open champion, in the Cleveland Grand Prix in 1979. Malin lost to Ilie Nastase in the semifinals of that tournament, his best as a pro. In 1980, Malin’s serve was timed at 128 m.p.h., third-fastest in a contest at the Jack Kramer Indoor Open at Pauley Pavilion. He and John Lloyd reached the semifinals of that tournament in doubles. Malin also spent part of the year playing doubles with Vince van Patten. He and Bill Maze were semifinalists in the Tulsa Grand Prix, where Malin and Price first met. In 1987, with the help of professional Vijay Amritraj of India, Malin was hired to coach India’s Davis Cup team. India defeated both Israel and Australia, 5-0, and advanced to the final before losing to Sweden, which was led by Stefan Edberg and Mats Wilander. Amritraj, who lives in Encino, was sold on Malin’s coaching ability and made Malin his hitting partner. Malin now gives private lessons to Prakash Amritraj, Vijay’s 10-year-old son. Malin actually came much closer to the national spotlight as a coach than a player. For brief periods, he coached Bonnie Gadusek and Barbara Potter. Both were ranked among the top 16 women in the world. But his prize pupil for 4 1/2 years was Stephanie Rehe of San Bernardino, who was ranked 10th in both singles (1988) and doubles (1992). |
