		Rod Laver certainly picked his moment to step up to the Wimbledon winner's rostrum for the first time, since the 1961 Championships marked the 75th staging of the world's greatest tennis tournament, an occasion when the All England Club welcomed 38 former champions, men and women, to the celebrations.
		Laver, the muscular, red-haired left-hander from the Queensland community of Rockhampton (hence the nickname Rocket) had already laid down an impressive marker by appearing in the men's final the previous two years, losing to Alex Olmedo, the Peruvian-American, in 1959 and to fellow-Australian Neale Fraser the following year.
		There was, in addition, enormous sentiment attached to the women's singles, where the final was contested in this anniversary year by two British competitors for the first time since 1914, with the tall and enormously popular Christine Truman taking on Angela Mortimer, who had already won two Grand Slam tournaments through quiet skill and determination.
