Ivko Plećević (1931 — 2021) was a Serbian tennis player.[1]
Plećević, who worked at the ticket office of Belgrade's Tašmajdan tennis club as a teenager, competed for the Yugoslavia Davis Cup team from 1952 to 1958. He was a men's doubles quarter-finalist at the 1958 Wimbledon Championships, partnering Davis Cup teammate Ika Panajotovic. A 10-time Yugoslav national champion, Plećević moved to West Germany in the 1960s, but spent the later years of his life back in Belgrade.[2]
The stolen Porsche car that was the focus of the 2009 film The Belgrade Phantom was owned by Plećević.[3]
