		Rod Laver is rated by many as the world's greatest player and his two Grand Slams of all four majors in 1962 and 1969 are evidence of that.
		His achievements are even more amazing when you realise he did not play at the majors between turning pro in 1963 and the start of the Open era in 1968.
		But few doubt that Laver's all-round abilities and character would have made him a dominant character whatever era he played in.
