Early and personal life[edit]
Glickstein was born in Rehovot, Israel, lives in Ashkelon, Israel, and is Jewish.[1][2] His parents immigrated to Israel from Poland.[1] He served in the Israel Defense Forces for three years, from the ages of 18 to 21, rising to the rank of sergeant.[1][3]
Tennis career[edit]
In 1980, Glickstein defeated World No. 35 Raúl Ramírez in the first round at Wimbledon.[4] He lost to Björn Borg (the eventual tournament winner) in the second round, but won the Wimbledon Plate in a consolation tournament.[4]
Glickstein's victories include wins against World No. 1 Ivan Lendl 6–2, 3–6, 7–5; No. 9 Harold Solomon; No. 10 Eliot Teltscher; and No. 11 Brian Gottfried.[4]
Glickstein retired in 1988. He served as director of the Israel Tennis Academy in Ramat Hasharon from 1992–96.[4]
In the spring of 1998 he was still managing the Israeli Davis Cup and Fed Cup teams.
Davis Cup[edit]
Glickstein was 44–22, and 22–4 on hard courts, in Davis Cup play from 1976–87.[5] He is Israel's all-time leader in total wins, singles wins (31), and doubles wins (13). As of 2008, his 44 wins was twice that of the Israeli with the second-most Davis Cup wins, Amos Mansdorf.
Maccabiah Games[edit]
Glickstein won the gold medal in men's singles in tennis at the 1981 Maccabiah Games,[3] the first Israeli to win a Maccabiah tennis championship.
