Jan Koželuh
Czech tennis player / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan Koželuh (29 January 1904 – 4 June 1979)[2] was a Czech tennis player of the 1920s, not to be confused with his older brother Karel Koželuh (1895–1950), a player of the same era. Although Karel was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island, in 2006, Jan is almost totally forgotten today outside his native Czechoslovakia. He also competed at the 1924 Summer Olympics.[3]
