| One of Australia's greatest ever sportsman, 'Rocket' Rod Laver is widely considered to be the best Tennis player of all time. Technically perfect, not only was Laver a quick, athletic serve and volley player, he also had powerful groundstrokes, He won all four grand slam titles twice in a calendar year, in 1962 and 1969, still unprecedented in both the men's and women's game. His 200 tour title wins is also unlikely to be matched. Laver's most consist rival was American Ken Rosewall, himself an 8 time grand slam winner. |
