American tennis player Pancho Gonzales had a long-running rivalry with Australian Ken Rosewall.
 Gonzales is still sometimes considered to be a candidate for the greatest tennis player of all time; he was the dominant player of the 1950s and still holds the men's all-time record of being ranked world No. 1 for eight years.
 Rosewall became the world's best player upon Gonzales's semi-retirement in 1961 and held that position either by himself or sharing it with others for six years.
 Rosewall was signed in 1956 by the promoter Jack Kramer, a former #1 player himself, to join his small band of touring professionals in 1957.
 He then engaged in a round-the-world, head-to-head tour against Gonzales, the defending world's champion, over the next five months, winning 26 matches but losing 50.
 In his 1979 autobiography Kramer included both Gonzales and Rosewall in his list of the 21 greatest players of all time.
 Kramer, however, initially "panicked" upon signing Rosewall.He was a cute little fellow with a dink serve, who operated mostly from the baseline.
 That great volley of his hadn't been developed yet.
 I was afraid that Gorgo would eat him alive and put us out of business the rest of the way.
 But like a lot of people I completely underestimated Rosewall.
 Before their opening match in Melbourne, Kramer went to Gonzales and asked him to "carry" Rosewall, giving him a better share of the gate to gain his assent.
 Gonzales did try to carry out his part of the deal for a few matches, but then called it off, telling Kramer that he was no longer able to play his normal game.
 Kramer agreed.
 "It was... obvious that Rosewall was not the pushover I had feared.
 (In fact, Gonzales only beat him 50–26, and it was always competitive.)"
 Six years older than Rosewall, 13 years later, in 1970, Gonzales defeated him in 6–4, 6–4, in the 199th and next-to-last match they ever played—Gonzales was 42 years old at the time and Rosewall was considered to be the co-No.

Fausto Gardini (8 March 1930 – 17 September 2008) was an Italian tennis player.
 He was an Italian Davis Cup player and later captain.
 Gardini had long arms and legs, was renowned for keeping the ball in play and was very determined.
 "I could not help but admire Gardini because he always tried" said Ken Rosewall.
 This is how William McHale described Gardini "A stringy, expressive, cavorting clown, Gardini uses the crowd as his personal cheering section".
 Gardini made his Grand Slam debut at Roland Garros in 1949, where he lost in round three to Eric Sturgess.
 At Roland Garros in 1951, Gardini lost in the last 16 to Dick Savitt.
 At Wimbledon Gardini beat Gardnar Mulloy before losing to Frank Sedgman in the last 16.
 At Roland Garros in 1952, Gardini beat 17 year old Ken Rosewall and Tony Mottram before losing to Jaroslav Drobny in the last 16.
 At Wimbledon he lost to Straight Clark in round three.
 At the 1953 Australian championships, Gardini lost in round two to Ian Ayre.
 At Roland Garros, Gardini reached the quarter finals before losing to Drobny.
 At Wimbledon he lost in round one to Istvan Sikorski.
 The highlight of Gardini's career was when he won the title at Rome in 1955, beating Herbert Flam, Enrique Morea and Giuseppe Merlo.
 The final was a dramatic match.
 Merlo led by 2 sets to 1 and had two championship points in the fourth set, but suffered from cramps and was forced to retire at 6-6 in the fourth set.
 After that, Gardini played less and concentrated on running his family's bakery business.
 By the early 1960s he was playing mainly in Italian tournaments and Davis Cup.
