About

Frederick Charles Hagist Jr. was born in Berkeley, California on April 17, 1932. He played collegiate tennis at the University of California from 1951 to 1953.

In 1952, in Cincinnati, Hagist upset top-seeded and NCAA singles champion Hugh Stewart in the semifinals to reach the singles final against Noel Brown. In that best-of-five-sets final, Hagist lost the first set, won the second and was down 0–2 in the third set when he strained a muscle on his right side. A doctor aided him in the locker room, but Hagist was forced to retire. Hagist was the first men's player to retire in a singles final in the history of the Cincinnati tournament, and one of only two in tournament history (the only other being Novak Djokovic in 2011, who retired against Andy Murray with a shoulder injury).
