Road runner

[edit]

I was hesitant to put this in the article because it is not "encyclopedic". It might be interesting to someone looking for information about Gulyas so I am including it here:

Referred to as the "road runner" by Ken Fletcher of Australia "because he ran everything down, and Ken hit a great cross-court forehand, the French court was so wide, this bloke ran across and lobbed it up and so Ken ran in and volleyed it across to the backhand; he ran across and slid ten yards and hit it up in the air, and Ken went back and smashed it down the middle and it bounced up and the bloke ran back and tossed it up. And Ken leapt up and hit it out into the Bois de Boulogne, the park around the stadium, and said, ‘Get that, ya Hungarian bastard!’ [Laughter]"[1]

Unfortunately, it is the only mention of Gulyas I have yet been able to find on the web that gives any indication of his personality or style of play.Typing Monkey - (type to me) 15:43, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]

The name of this article should be changed to "Istvan Gulyas" because that is the name used on the English-language websites of the official governing bodies of tennis, which are the Association of Tennis Professionals and the International Tennis Federation. This is also the name used on the English-language website of Davis Cup. Tennis expert (talk) 05:22, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
