Victor Amaya

Victor Amaya (born July 2, 1954) is a retired tennis player from the U.S.

The left-handed Amaya's career-high singles ranking was world No. 15, attained in August 1980. During his career he won three ATP singles titles and six doubles titles, including the 1980 French Open doubles title with partner Hank Pfister. With Pfister he was runner-up in doubles at the 1982 US Open.

One of Amaya's memorable matches was a loss to Björn Borg in the first round of the 1978 Wimbledon Championships. With his 135 mph serve, he led Borg two sets to one and was up a break in the fourth set, but ultimately lost in five sets. After the match Borg, who was the defending champion and seeded first, commented “It was his match, if he wins one point for 4‐1 and two breaks, he doesn't lose the match.”.

He played college tennis at the University of Michigan and was inducted into the USTA/Midwest Hall of Fame in 2016.
