Ricardo Tapia

Ricardo Tapia Acuña (27 September 1909 – 2 April 1996) was a Mexican tennis player.

The son of a doctor, Tapia was born in Mexico City and competed on the international tour in the 1920s and 1930s. After his tennis career he followed his father into medicine and was a noted otolaryngologist.

Tapia represented Mexico in the Davis Cup between 1928 and 1937, appearing in a total of eight ties. Often coming up against a strong United States team, he has the unenviable record of not registering a win from either his 15 singles rubbers or three doubles rubbers.

His sister María was Mexico's top women's player of her era. Provided by Wikipedia
