John Van Nostrand (July 17, 1961 – April 15, 1984) was a professional tennis player from the United States.[1] His sister Molly Van Nostrand also played tennis professionally. Both werr coached by their father, Kingdon Van Nostrand.
Career
Van Nostrand was a dual NCAA All-American for Pepperdine University, in 1982 and 1983.[2]
He appeared in the main draw of one Grand Slam during his career, the 1983 Australian Open, in the men's doubles, but never got to play a point, as he and partner Jim Gurfein defaulted the match.[2]
The American was a quarter-finalist at the 1983 Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, held in Newport, Rhode Island.[2] He beat world number 46 Mike De Palmer in the opening round and Mike Leach in the second round.[2]
In the first tournament of the 1984 Grand Prix season, at Auckland, Van Nostrand and partner Brian Levine were doubles champions.[2] The pair upset top seeds Broderick Dyke and Rod Frawley in the quarter-finals.[2]
Three months later, Van Nostrand was killed in a car accident, along with fellow player Joe Heldman. They had been traveling from Mexico City to the San Luis Potosí Challenger tournament. On a mountainous road near San Juan del Río, their car went off a curve and fell 660 feet down the mountain.[3]
