		In a series of head-to-head matches against the reigning king of professional tennis, Pancho Gonzales, Rosewall was badly beaten, 51 matches to 26.
		In 1963, with Gonzales in semi-retirement, and Rod Laver a newly fledged pro not yet at the height of his career, Rosewall was clearly the best player in the world on a day-to-day basis.

	Courting a lifetime's dream - theage.com.au
		Rosewall won two of his four Australian titles as an amateur, in 1953 and 1955, and the other two as a professional, in 1971 and 1972.
		Rosewall's success as a teenager half-a-century ago - as the second seed in a 32-man draw - is what is being commemorated, and no more of an excuse is needed to revisit a famous career.
		Yet, it was certainly not Beckeresque, for Rosewall, the grocer's son with the legendary backhand, regards it as far less of a life-changing experience than a reward for his parents - his father and only coach, Bob, died in June, aged 94 - who had sacrificed so much for their only child.

		Rosewall, who lives in Sydney, recently spoke to The Age on the eve of his departure for Newport, Rhode Island, the site of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, where he was to join the 85th birthday celebrations of tennis legend Jack Kramer.
		Rosewall recalled that Hoad was mozzed in the lead-up to the 1956 US Open by being featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
		During the recent interview, Rosewall wondered whether Hoad might have been nervous before their US Open final, because he was on the verge of becoming only the second player to win the grand slam, after Don Budge in 1938.

	Tribute to Ken Rosewall - 18/11/2004
		Ken Rosewall and his wife, Wilma, and their good friend and former Australian Open winner, Beryl Collier, are in the public gallery today as guests of the honourable member for Georges River.
		Ken was made a Member of the British Empire and awarded the Medal of Australia, as well as being inducted into the New South Wales Hall of Champions in 1979 and the International Hall of Fame in 1980.
		Ken is known to me as a very modest and gentle man who is, no doubt, embarrassed by this attention, but I believe all honourable members would agree that this Australian sports ambassador deserves our recognition and our thanks for his great on-court skills, his sportsmanship and his many outstanding achievements.

		Rosewall and Hoad applied a band-aid by pooling their own funds to lure Laver as an attraction into professionalism - a $ 110,000 guarantee over three years - and this may have rescued their ailing trade.
		Rosewall beat him in the final but all they got was a warm handshake.
		Laver and Rosewall, and their comrades such as Gonzalez and Hoad of the financially shaky one-night stand days, were the intrepid pioneers who kept the pro game alive until open tennis became a reality.
