CHAMPIONS DUAL SIGNED FIRST DAY COVER
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.
Frederick Sydney Stolle, AO (born
8th October 1938) is an Australian former tennis player and
commentator. Stolle is notable for being the only male player in history
to have lost his first five Grand Slam singles finals, the fifth of which
he led by two sets to love. However, Stolle went on to win two Grand Slam
tournament singles titles, the 1965 French Championships and the 1966 U.S
Championships. Stolle won ten Grand Slam doubles titles, partnering with compatriots
Bob Hewitt (4 titles), Roy Emerson (4 titles) and Ken Rosewall (2
titles). In addition, Stolle won 7 Grand Slam mixed doubles titles.
