Earl Harry
Cochell
Male
United States of America
1922-05-18
Sacramento, California, United States of America
is the only tennis player ever barred for life by the United States Tennis Association.
Cochell was ranked as high as No. 6 in the U.S. rankings before the 1951 U.S. Nationals. In a fourth-round match with Gardnar Mulloy, he became angry over a line call and tried to address the crowd by climbing into the chair umpire\'s ladder to take the microphone.
Cochell was barred from doing so, and eventually lost the match to Mulloy. Two days later, Cochell was suspended indefinitely and dropped from the rankings by the USTA. He never played another tennis match (aside from a couple of appearances in 1962, eleven years later).
