  • Center court with side by side courts? Huh?

  • Tony Roche would've had a few more slams if it weren't for Rosewall and Laver.

  • Rosewall transforms a tennis court into a billiard table with the accuracy of his shots!

  • Rosewall's body language reminds me of Edberg's a little bit.

  • now i see why fed's backhand was a monster under roche's guidance:)

  • Thanks for posting!

  • So evenly matched...I'm going out on a limb, but these guys had pretty good backhands.

    Maybe the best 7 mins on YouTube.

  • damn, tennis was legit back then, winning a grand slam was no easy feat. Though I really love the way the sport has evolved over the years, especially what it has turned into now.

  • @rogerlegg seize not cease

  • @atele6 I'm not sure. It might be adaptation to opponents equipment and how it affects mechanics. Federer may be capable of hitting all his strokes with a wooden racket. If so, he would be an incredibly difficult opponent for any player from any era. Rosewall could play with a piano leg and still hit effortless shots and probably not alter his style. Rosewall was the masterful strategist turning any opportunity to cease control of a point.-defense to offense probing and exploiting weaknesses.
