Great athlete, fast, quick, and strong. His commentary at the US Open was always incisive and very funny. RIP, TT...

Great interview, thank you Mr. Ruszanov. Trabert himself did several years of US open commentary and of course conducted many interviews, but to me he's an even better as the one being interviewed. Very candid. Modest. Personable. Glad you had a chance to do that.

Thank You Mr Fennell, your words means a lot to me! I greatly appreciate it! I was blessed to have a chance to interview Mr Trabert!

Tony is my favorite announcer - a quick witted gentleman - his pairings with Pat Summerall and Newk are legendary.

[@jasonzaremba4551]

Didn't know he passed 😪

[@Lava1964]

I didn't either. I was watching the U.S. Open final from 1974. He and Pat Summerall were doing the commentary. I was curious to see how old Tony was--and I saw that he has passed away two months ago.
