Few tennis legends sustained longevity in their careers like Australia's Ken Rosewall. During his 30-plus year career on the courts, he captured an astounding 147 singles titles, spanning some of the most turbulent times in the sport. In the TennisWorthy Podcast, Ken discusses his elite tactics, including his legendary backhand, with host Chris Bowers. He shares stories of his doubles partnership with countryman Lew Hoad, the pure accomplishment of winning Grand Slam titles, and straddling the professional and amateur circuits early in the Open Era.
As one of Australia's tennis golden age greats, Ken Rosewall won 18 Grand Slam titles (singles, doubles and mixed doubles) and 15 Pro Major singles titles spanning three decades. He was first ranked in the world's top 20 in 1952 and for the last time in 1977. Rosewall contributed to 4 Davis Cup titles for Australia, and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame shortly after his career ended in 1980.
