ROD LAVER 1962 & 1969 CALENDAR
GRAND SLAM CHAMPION ORIGINAL TENNIS AUTOGRAPH CARD
Rodney George “Rod” Laver AC, MBE (born
9th August 1938) is an Australian
former tennis player widely regarded as one of the greatest in tennis
history. He was the No. 1 ranked professional from
1964 to 1970, spanning four years before and three years after the start of
the Open Era. Laver's 200 singles titles are the most in tennis history,
and he holds the all-time male singles records of 22 titles in a single season
(1962) and seven consecutive years (1964–70) winning at least 10 titles per
season. He excelled on all of the court surfaces of his time: grass, clay,
hard, carpet, and wood/parquet. Despite being banned from playing the Grand
Slam tournaments for the five years prior to the Open Era, he still won 11
singles titles. He is the only player to twice achieve the calendar-year Grand
Slam, in 1962 and 1969, and remains the only man to do so during the Open Era.
He also won eight Pro Slam titles, including the calendar year Pro
"Grand Slam" in 1967, and contributed to
five Davis Cup titles for Australia during an age when Davis Cup was
deemed as significant as the Grand Slams.
