Today we revisit Australian tennis in the late 1940's and early 1950's via the feats of Frank Sedgman. Our main focus is the year 1951.

With our recency bias we often don't stop to recall that Frank won 22 Grand Slam titles (including doubles & mixed doubles) in a five year period.

He won the Grand Slam of doubles with Ken McGregor and twice won the "triple crown" at a Grand Slam event - that is ....... winning the Singles, Doubles & Mixed doubles.

He had an outstanding record in Davis Cup.

He was a crowd favourite with an exemplary demeanour on the Court and was understated and modest off it.

Trust you enjoy recalling the career of Frank Sedgman - one of Australia's best ever tennis players.

Thank you ball boys, thank you Hawk Eye.
