Former tennis Grand Slam champion Bob Hewitt has been found guilty by a South African court of raping underage girls.
Hewitt, 75, had denied two charges of rape and a third charge of sexual assault.
The attacks took place in the 1980s and 1990s, when the former Australian tennis star was coaching the women, then young girls, in South Africa.
Hewitt won nine Grand Slam doubles and six mixed doubles titles in the 1960s and 1970s.
During the trial, one woman said she had been sexually assaulted by him when she was 12 years old.
Judge Bert Bam told the High Court sitting in Johannesburg that the evidence against Hewitt was overwhelming and consistent.
He said striking similarities among the three victims' testimonies showed that Hewitt's conduct was calculated.
His crimes had not been erased by time, the judge added.
Hewitt was remanded in custody following the guilty verdicts.
