Moss progressed through the junior ranks, U.S. Boys' Singles Champion (15 and Under), U.S.
Singles and Doubles Champion (18 and Under), member of the U.S. Davis Cup team, until entering
the University of Miami in 1958. As a Miami Hurricane, Mr. Moss earned All-American honors two
years, was team captain in 1959 and had a career record of 70-1 playing #1 singles and doubles.
His biggest win came after leaving the University of Miami when he defeated the worlds #1 ranked
player, Rod Laver, in the 1961 Masters Championship.
On April 27, 2010, the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee discussed honoring Mr. Moss
with a plaque to be placed at the Flamingo Park Tennis Center. The Committee moved to refer the

time.
On September 30, 2013, the item was again discussed at the Neighborhood/Community Affairs
Committee. The Committee directed staff to explore placing a plaque at the Flamingo Park Tennis
Center while incorporating a Wall of Honor or something similar which would allow for the names of
others to be placed on the "Honor List". In addition, the Committee referred the item to the Tennis
Advisory Committee for further discussion.
