you know what i like about Laver? besides him being the greatest to ever play the game, he was, and is, such a humble champion. when he wins, he doesnt jump up and down, scream at the crowd, and cry like todays players. he first goes to the net and shakes him opponents hand first, which i think is very respectful. then, he gives a short, humble speech. such a great champion
Laver is so casual even when he wins a spectacular point XD But these guys both really know how to construct a point well....there was more tactics in tennis in these days. Watching these old tennis vids always reminds me how good past players really were.
Thanks for posting this. So the final score WAS 7-9, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, eh? That;s what I've been saying all the time since I saw a pic of the scoreboard back many years ago in a book I had. My tennis pals say, 7-9, 6-1, 6-3, 6-2, that's what it says in the record book. Hmmm, looks like I'm right.
That's Jack Kramer and a young Bud Collins as the commentators, btw!
@Scoclamor Omfg I thought I recognized Bud Collins' voice 0.0; that's crazy!! he sounds so nice in this lol....I'm so used to him being corny and slow-talking, it's weird to hear him with such a good commentator voice.
Amazing footage! Laver completing the Holy grail of Tennis..the Calander Slam. His 3rd (62 amatuer,67 Pro,69 Open)What a Good bloke also. Thanks for the upload. The more I watch Laver..the more I'm convinced he is GOAT! Federer best in Singles, Laver the best in Tennis!!

roche should have been given the option of spike shoes too.

@sharpasaneraser Roache didn't want the spikes because he drags his back foot so much on his serve.

Laver's final shot at the 2:21 point is astonishing.
