Tennis career

Taróczy was six times a Hungarian national champion. He also won the Dutch Open on six occasions (1976, 1978–82), which made up nearly half of his total number of singles titles.

One of the game's premier doubles players, Balazs and partner Heinz Günthardt won the 1985 Wimbledon doubles title. Though never especially proficient on the grass, the duo defeated the Australian pair Pat Cash and John Fitzgerald in four sets.

He became the Hungarian No. 1 player in 1973 and was a member of the Hungary Davis Cup team from 1973 to 1985.

Despite playing part-time, still managed to finish top 50 in the doubles world rankings at No. 45 in 1989[1]

From September 1989 to the end of 1990, he was the coach of Goran Ivanišević.
