The Legends?

Can anyone please name "The Legends" who were at the AO finals? I saw Laver and I thought I saw Rosewall.

Who else was there? Just wondering, (I'm not trying to start an argument).

I think, it was Gimeno. They had lined up Laver's 4 opponents for his 1969 Grand Slam.

It was Gimeno.

The commentary on ESPN2 talked over much of the trophy presentation ceremony. TTC's coverage showed the ceremony in its entirety and the organizers did arrange for Laver and his opponents in the GS singles finals of '69 to be there.

Wow! Quite an homage to Laver.

Maybe the tennis world is coming around to a consensus GOAT.
