Podcast appearances and mentions of Roy Emerson

Taking a look back at the 1971 Wimbledon mens  singles,could John Newcombe defend his title against top playerslike Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Ilie Nastase, Stan Smith, RoyEmerson, Arthur Ashe and many more.

First came the Australian giants Lew Hoad, Ken Rosewall, Roy Emerson, Margaret Court and Rod Laver, then the electricity of Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, the athleticism and power of Pete Sampras, Steffi Graf and their countless rivals before the entrance of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams who together took title-winning standards to a whole new level. This year Djokovic has achieved a feat many considered out of reach in equalling Margaret Court's record 24 singles major titles, but do titles alone define Greatness, or are there other factors at play when we go in search of the Goat – the Greatest of All Time?How should the Greatest be judged? Success? Substance? Style? Celebrity? Presenter Seb Lauzier is joined for a two-part special by esteemed tennis journalist and author of biographies on both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, Chris Bowers and WTA player turned tennis commentator and reporter, Jill Craybas tpo discuss and debate those very questions.Presenter Seb LauzierGuests - Chris Bowers and Jill CraybasAudio inserts - Ivan Ljubicic, Jeremy Chardy, Brad Stine, Paul Haarhuis and Craig O'ShannessyChris Bowers 'Greatest of All Time' presentation - https://chrisbowers.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Greatest-paper-03NOV2023.pdf

Looking back at the mens singles at the1970 WimbledonTennis Championships.  Australian Rod Laver was going forhis fifth straight title. Trying to stop him were the likes ofRosewall, Roche, Newcombe, Ashe, Emerson, Okker, Nastaseand Britain's finest Taylor and Cox.

Following up on my Wimbledon 1968 episode Itake a look at the second Wimledon Championshipsof the Open era. Can Rod Laver successfully defendhis title against legends of the game like Ken Rosewall, Pancho Gonzales, Roy Emerson, John Newcombe andArthur Ashe ?

On this week's show...JOHN NEWCOMBE ON NICK KYRGIOS - ‘I can't speak for a lot of the other guys, but the ones I do talk to reasonably regularly, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver and Tony Roche and all that, we all think his tennis is great, never criticise his tennis at all, but it's just sometimes when he hasn't behaved great on the court, we've felt that not only has he let himself down but the image of Australian tennis gets let down a little bit, but no one certainly has been critical of his tennis and his ability as a great young sportsman. He's doing it his way and maybe one or two guys have come out and been ultra-critical of him, but that's just how life is'.JOHN NEWCOMBE ON DOUBLES - ‘When you talk about doubles you're bringing up something that's a bit of a sore point with me because it's just a pity to see none of the top payers playing in doubles. I understand best of five sets the top players don't want to play, but as far as doubles goes, I'd like to see them having to play more doubles in the regular tournaments where it's two out of three sets'.JOHN NEWCOMBE ON LLEYTON HEWITT'S INDUCTION INTO THE INTERNATIONAL TENNIS HALLL OF FAME - ‘When he was 14 he came to my tennis ranch in Texas and the first week he came up to me and said he'd like to interview me for a school essay and he had 25 questions all written out, very professional and we did the interview and it was little over a year later that we picked him for the Davis Cup team. He came out of the blocks in the first match against Todd Martin who was number nine in the world and he blew him away. It was just a joy to sit on the side of the court, of course he had nerves, but the more nervous he got, the better he played'.FACUNDO LAGONES ON WORKING WITH CAMERON NORRIE - ‘One of Cam's biggest changes is admitting mistakes and realising them and having honest conversations about what happened in the matches or outside the court and being humble enough to recognise what he needed to work on and not just say it and then forget about it. He is really good at working on things that make him better and not making excuses is giving a big edge over most other players because it's pretty common to make excuses here on tour and not fix what's wrong'.PLUS MEKTIC AND PAVIC TAKE OUR GRASS COURT QUIZ-Podcast presented by Chris Bowers, Jill Craybas and Peter Marcato-Interviews by Chris Bowers and Candy Reid-Feature by ATP Uncovered and Kate Flory

A little country kid ushers in the Davis Cup. It's the summer of 1966 and Susan Oliver is just like many kids from all over Australia in that she loves tennis. She doesn't just love playing the game with her sister and father but loves the players she reads about in the papers and hears on the radio. So when the Davis Cup final comes to Melbourne, Susan wants to be right there, even though Kooyong is a good 60 miles from her home in Warragul. Despite the distance, Susan got her chance as an usherette showing fans to their seats, a dream come true to be involved. Ironically, Susan's uniform from that time has gone on display just as the Davis Cup as we know it is no longer. In episode four of Object of the Game, we look back on a time when Australia was the best tennis nation in the world, and the summer when one little country kid got to meet her heroes. The article mentioned in the episode is "Australia wins an Indian war" written by Kim Chapin and published in the January 9, 1967 edition of Sports Illustrated magazine. You can find the text only version here. Archive audio of the 1965 Wimbledon Final between Roy Emerson and Fred Stolle courtesy of British Pathé. Find the whole video here. The theme music in this episode is courtesy of the Blue Dot Sessions and the Free Music Archive.
