Nadal, Djokovic Favourites as Wimbledon 2022 Enters Uncharted Territory

For an observer, reverting to the habit of tuning into tennis at the All England Championships, few details may seem astray this year as the event, steeped deep into tradition and regarded as one of the elite sporting spectacles, treads into the realms of the unknown. Wimbledon is sporting royalty. The tournament creates legends. But, even before the first trope of players reached the famed SW 19…

In which year did Rod Laver first win the Wimbledon men's singles title?

Rodney George "Rod" Laver (born 1938) is a former tennis player from Australia. In 1961, he beat American player Chuck McKinley to win his first Wimbledon singles title. The Wimbledon Championships is the oldest of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments and has been competed in since 1877. It is held on grass courts in Wimbledon, a suburb of London in the United Kingdom. During his career, Laver won the singles title four times: 1961, 1962, 1968 and 1969.

Laver started playing tennis as an amateur in 1956 and made his way to the Wimbledon finals in 1959, winning the mixed doubles with American player Darlene Hard. In 1960, he won his first singles title at the Australian Championships, followed by the Wimbledon singles title the following year. By the end of 1961, Laver was ranked the world's No. 1 amateur player.

In 1962, Laver became the first male player since 1938 to win all four Grand Slam singles titles in the same year. After winning the fourth title, Laver turned professional and quickly established himself among the leading players of the day. By the end of 1963, Laver was the No. 2 professional player, eventually becoming No. 1 in 1965.

Laver continued to win Grand Slam tournaments until his retirement in 1979. In 2003, he was honoured with his portrait on a postage stamp by the 'Australia Post Australian Legends Award'. The Laver Cup, a tournament between Team Europe and Team World, is named in his honour.
