Legacy[edit]

Someone was a bit literal-minded. Obviously Van Alen's legacy exists in the major professional tournaments which play games to reasonable lengths (in the TV age) thanks to his innovation of the tiebreak. That his mother was the beneficiary and the donor of a substantial legacy is obviously some kind of in-joke.Silas Maxfield (talk) 14:55, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
