Biography

Early years and education

Born in Cincinnati, he is the oldest child of Alvin Bunis Sr. and Ann Bunis (née Johnston).[2][3]

Professional tennis

Following graduation in 1975, Bunis turned professional and spent four years on tour.[4] He made the quarter-finals at Cologne in 1976, to match his best performance in a Grand Prix tournament, a quarter-final appearance in Cincinnati while at Columbia University in 1974. At a tournament in Little Rock in 1977 he managed to win a set against Björn Borg, in front of a crowd of 3,500 in Arkansas.[4]

Bunis also made appearances at the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open.[4] He had three wins at Grand Slam level, to make the second round twice at the US Open and at the 1977 Wimbledon Championships, where he won a marathon 72 game match against Raz Reid.[6]

His only final on the Grand Prix tour came in the doubles, when he and partner Paul McNamee were runners-up at the 1977 Chilean Open, .[7]
