Born in California, Doyle played in all four Grand Slams
Confirming Doyle’s death on Saturday, Tennis Ireland said: “The tennis community in Ireland has been greatly saddened to hear overnight of the death of Matt Doyle, at the age of 70.
A first-round defeat to Italy in the competition set up one of the most memorable days in Irish tennis – a home relegation match against the US. Played at the RDS in Dublin, the US team featured that year’s Wimbledon champion McEnroe. “He was clever, witty, and a great guy to have on the court beside me, because of his huge serve and presence. And in that Davis Cup match, he left us at the end of Day 1, tied at one-all against the United States. Imagine that!”
