Forty four years ago, I was at center court for the five set final between Aussies John Newcombe and Ken Rosewall.

Wow, RAI… Probably be the only reason I would get a TV back in my house for.
They have the best female presenters. I don’t understand a word of what they say, but I couldn’t care less.
You lucky fellow. Well, I had my day with them as well. It was either 1970, or the year before, I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. Across the river from Shreveport, LA and was an accomplished enough high school tennis player; such that another buddy and I got to team up with Rosewall and Newcombe in a doubles exhibition match at a local tennis club. I got Rosewall for my partner. What a kick. Cheers.
Ahh.. those were the days…
when Aussies could play Tennis. !
I was there two days before to watch Roger Taylor lose in the semi final!!
I bunked off work with a “stomach bug”.
