| Bio | He was a Tunisian tennis player. At the age of 16, he won the Brun cup, the Noël Amory cup, but lost the final of the Tunisian tennis championship. Subsequently, he won three consecutive national titles and was one of the hopefuls of French tennis, competing in the French junior championships. Henri Cochet would have advised him to engage in the circuits but for Naccache, tennis was above all a pleasure. He was the first Tunisian who participated in Roland Garros. He became the first Tunisian to win a Grand Slam match when he beat Philippe Chatrier at the French Open in 1951. He won the Tunisian Championship in men's singles 7 times (1936, 1937, 1938, 1949, 1950, 1952 and 1953), in men's doubles 7 times (in 1935 and 1936 with Benattar, in 1937 and 1938 with with Fiorentino, in 1950 with Albert Maarek, in 1952 with Lucien Escard and in 1953 with Botella) and in mixed doubles 3 times (in 1936, 1937 and 1938 with Mrs Rondeau). Two months after his death, the International Tennis Federation pays tribute to him on the sidelines of its general assembly for the services he rendered to tennis in Tunisia. |
