Robert Trogolo (born 15 June 1953) is a former professional tennis player from South Africa.[1]
Trogolo was recruited to play tennis for the University of Mary Hardin–Baylor in 1972.[2]
The South African reached the third round of the 1979 US Open, beating Rick Fisher and Jan Norbäck, before being eliminated by José Luis Clerc in four sets.[3] That year he won three Challenger doubles titles within the space of a month, with Sashi Menon as his partner.[3]
The pair competed together in both 1980 Wimbledon Championships and the 1980 US Open but were unable to progress past the first round in either.[3] In both of those tournaments he also took part in the singles.[3] He was defeated in the opening round of Wimbledon by Phil Dent but made the second round at the US Open, with a win over Fernando Maynetto.[3] That year he was also a singles quarter-finalist in the San Juan Open and doubles finalist in New Orleans, partnering Raymond Moore.[3]
