I call him the GOAT of Longevity
I wish to go on record to say that I believe that Muscles is a true, legitimate GOAT contender.
I think his record of playing at such a high level is unparalleled. I'd venture to say that Rosewall was (or should be) ranked in the top 5 in the world for close to 20 years.
Does that suggest that tennis is more physically demanding nowadays? Maybe, but I prefer to think Kenny was just a freak of nature who played a game so fluid and elegant that he didn't need to injure himself to win.
Yes, I am well aware that he did not win Wimbledon. I believe that he was good enough to get to all those finals, and was good enough to win, but was unlucky in the final match-up. He certainly could win on grass.
Maybe Wimbledon is the world championship now (if anything is), but one can certainly be a great champion with an amazing record without it.
