Roger Becker (6 February 1934 – 6 November 2017)[3][4] was a British tennis player. Becker also played in cricket, football, and golf before pursuing tennis competitively in 1949. In 1952, Becker played in the Davis Cup when he was 18, the youngest British player to ever play in the tournament. His record stood until 2005 when it was defeated by 17 year old Andy Murray. Becker later served as Paul Hutchins' coach for a time.
