With Victor Elmaleh’s death last month at the age of ninety-five, I was reminded of a couple of places on the web that have some great material on him.
1. Listen to an audio of an interview Peter Krulewitch did with Elmaleh in 2009:

2. Alex Beam—with whom I shared a weekly blog at Vanity Fair—did a great piece on Elmaleh in 2009:

Beam’s article notes that Elmaleh was a left-waller all his squash doubles life, except when he played with the other Victor, Neiderhoffer, who put Elmaleh on the right wall for their stunning 1968 National Doubles tour de force.
3. And the Times checked in about Victor’s squash game:
