== Early life ==
Bob Falkenburg was born in New York City on January 29, 1926 and grew up in Los Angeles, California in a tennis playing family.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.glamourgirlsofthesilverscreen.com/show/534/Jinx+Falkenburg/index.html )〕 His parents, Eugene “Genie” Lincoln Falkenburg (an engineer involved in the construction of the Hoover Dam) and Marguerite “Mickey” Crooks Falkenburg were amateur tennis players. While employed by Westinghouse, Eugene was transferred to South America, where he moved with his wife and three children to São Paulo, Brazil. There Mickey won the state tennis championship in 1927. Mickey was always involved in tennis. In the book “The Game: My 40 Years in Tennis,” renowned tennis champion Jack Kramer wrote that Mickey Falkenburg was “the first person to ever suggest to him the idea of a team-tennis league,” a league which he later created. Bob’s sister, Jinx Falkenburg,〔 a famous American film star/model was also an amateur tennis player and his brother Tom had a successful tennis career as well.〔
Bob started to play tennis in 1936 when he was 10 years old. Like other known tennis players from Southern California, he frequently played at The Los Angeles Tennis Club in Hollywood, which was located very close to the family home. Bob also played at the Bel-Air Country Club, where he won the junior tennis tournament in 1937 at 11 years of age. As a youngster, Bob participated in different tournaments around the city.〔
