Ken
Rosewall
Speaker Profile
For a quarter of a century, Ken Rosewall's grace and easy, economical style delighted the connoisseurs.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest male tennis players of all time, his only regret of his long and distinguished career is that, in spite of four finals over a period of 20 years, he never won the Wimbledon singles title.
He began in the 1950s as a Hopman prodigy. In 1953, aged 18, he won the Australian and French singles and with Lew Hoad, the French and Wimbledon doubles.
In the Davis Cup Ken won 19 of his 22 rubbers in 11 ties between 1953 and 1956. Turning professional in 1957, he took over the leadership of the professional circuit from Gonzales until Laver's arrival in 1963. It was not until the end of 1979 that Ken Rosewall retired from Grand Prix Tennis, with over 130 singles titles to his name.
