S.A. Rumjahn

Biography

S.A. Rumjahn won a total of 18 major titles (5 singles and 13 doubles) at the Hong Kong Grass Court Championships between 1927 and 1940, with all thirteen doubles triumphs partnering his cousin, H.D. Rumjahn. In the 1940 singles final, the much older S.A. Rumjahn was given little chance against the leading player of the day, Tsui Yun Pui, and his unlikely win prompted the local press to label it as one of the biggest upsets in the territory’s tennis history.
