yeah Rosewall is the most underated champion ever
...
one unlucky mark against Rosewall was the fact that he never won Wimbledon [though he reached the final 4-times]
...
#Connors & Agassi`s longevity is always praised
but what about Rosewall
won AO aged 37yrs
USO & Wimby finalist aged 39yrs:angel:
