A wonderful read. Thanks.

Great to see The Rocket around at tournaments these days, receiving respect from various players. He deserves it.

Nice article, especially moving those tales about the illness of his late wife Mary. I read somewhre, that Laver and his co-writer Larry Writer will publish a new book on Australian tennis history in the late year, November or December. The title is something like. The Golden Era. When Australians Ruled the Tennis World.s 1955-1975. Maybe some people will like this, including our Hoadie-friend Dan.
