Hans Nusslein (1910 - 1991) was a top tennis player of the 1930s who is almost totally forgotten today. A German, he had almost no background in amateur tennis. He was one of the first players on the professional tour, where he beat the far more prominent Bill Tilden frequently. He won the World Pro singles title in 1933, as well as the London Indoor Professional Championship at Wembley Arena in 1937 and 1938. He also won the United States Pro title in 1934, and was a finalist in several other major championships. He was known for his fine groundstrokes.
