Timeline
Charles Manuel Pasarell Jr. (born February 12, 1944) is a Puerto Rican former tennis player, tennis administrator and founder of the current Indian Wells tournament.
He has also commented for the Tennis Channel and with Arthur Ashe and Sheridan Snyder formed the U.S. National Junior Tennis League.
He is also known as Charlito ("Little Charlie") because his father had the same name and was also a gifted tennis player, being the champion of Puerto Rico six times in the 1950s.
Pasarell was a prestigious junior and first appeared on the cover of "World Tennis Magazine" at the age of 11 in 1955.
He first appeared in the U.S. Championships at Forest Hills in 1960 and was first ranked nationally that year.
Pasarell competed in major tournaments from 1960 through 1979, with his most successful showings coming in doubles.
He won over half dozen Orange Bowl titles and five US junior titles including the US juniors in singles and doubles with Clark Graebner in 1961.
In 1962, he played at the Caribe Hilton Championships in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This was arguably the biggest tournament in the whole of Central, Caribbean and South America.
Charlie was only just 18 and beat U.S. No. 7 Ron Holmberg, followed by Mexican No. 1, Mario Llamas, 6–0, 6–0 in the quarterfinals (avenging a similar defeat of his 14-year-old brother Stanley earlier in the tournament).
In the semifinals, Charlie met Rod Laver, who would later win his first Grand Slam that year.
He took the first set 6–0 before losing in three sets.
World Tennis reported that "The newspapers and magazines in Puerto Rico have put Khrushchev (Soviet leader behind the Cuban Missile Crisis) on the second page and Charlito on the first".
He was a quarterfinalist at the U.S. National Championships in 1965 and Wimbledon in 1976.
He attended and graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he won the NCAA men's singles and doubles with Ian Crookenden of New Zealand in 1966, one year after his friend and teammate Arthur Ashe won those titles.
Pasarell was also a member of the U.S. Davis Cup team in 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1974.
He was ten times ranked in the top ten of the U.S. and No. 1 in 1967 and world No. 11 in 1966.
He reached No. 1 in the U.S. rankings in 1967 and became the first man in over 30 years to win the U.S. National Indoors in successive years.
This tournament was the biggest indoor tournament in the world.
While at UCLA, he received coaching from Pancho Segura at the Beverly Hills Tennis Club.
In doubles, Pasarell's most significant wins were the 1967 U.S. National Indoor Championships with Arthur Ashe; the inaugural American Airlines Games in 1974 with Sherwood Stewart which evolved to the current tournament in Indian Wells and the Alan King Classic in 1976 with Arthur Ashe.
The latter two at the time were two of the richest most prestigious tournaments in the world.
Pasarell was also the first man to beat the reigning champion in the first round at Wimbledon when in 1967 he beat Manuel Santana.
In 1968, he narrowly lost to Ken Rosewall in the second round.
Rex Bellamy, tennis correspondent of The Times, started his article the next day by stating that "The first open Wimbledon produced its first great match", and further stated: "Among the men who climb to high places there is a saying that the mountains bring you three things - men, battle, and beauty. The men are true, the battle is the only kind worth fighting, and the beauty in life. Rosewall and Pasarell took us to the mountains yesterday - and the air was like wine."
Finally, after covering other matches, the article ends, "Yet the abiding memory will be of Rosewall and Pasarell. If they show films in Valhalla, this is a match the gods will want to see."
In 1969, Pasarell played Pancho Gonzales in what was, until 2010, the longest match in Wimbledon history in terms of the number of games played.
The 41-year-old Gonzales finally defeated the 25-year-old 22–24, 1–6, 16–14, 6–3, 11–9 after a battle that lasted 5 hours and 12 minutes.
Representing the United States as a player, he has been heavily engaged in the administration of the professional game from the inception of the ATP in 1972 and has been Vice President when he was still playing and until recently on the Board of Directors representing the Americas tournaments.
Pasarell achieved his best result at Wimbledon in 1976, when he lost in the quarterfinals to former world No. 1 Ilie Năstase, after wins against Jun Kamiwazumi, Vijay Amritraj, Adriano Panatta (ranked No. 4 in the world, having won both the Italian and French Opens), and Phil Dent.
1977 was Pasarell's last full-time tour and he started the year very well with a last 16 appearance in the Australian Open losing to eventual runner up Guillermo Vilas.
A semifinal at the South Australian Open including a win over Arthur Ashe (in their last match) and a quarterfinal at the American Airlines Games (a forerunner of the Indian Wells event) with wins over Balázs Taróczy, Vijay Amritraj and Roscoe Tanner before losing narrowly to then world No. 4 Brian Gottfried in three sets.
He then had a bad run of form signalling the slow down of his career.
He finished ranked 77 on the ATP computer and 25 in the U.S. He had also started the year well in doubles with Erik van Dillen.
In 1978, Pasarell's career continued to wind down, he was not given a wild card to Wimbledon and lost in the first round of qualifying to Jan Šimbera.
In 1979, he qualified for both Wimbledon and the US Open and started to play veterans events.
He made his last attempt to qualify for the main draw at Wimbledon in 1984 aged 40 when he was not invited to take part in the over 35's singles event and lost in the first round to Jeff Turpin.
He continued to play regularly on the seniors' tour until the end of 1985 and then stopped playing completely in 1988.
In 2013, Pasarell was elected into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
