Rod Laver at Wimbledon in 1961

Rod Laver jumping the net after winning the 1961 Wimbledon Final - on his way to completing the calendar year Grand Slam of tennis. He remains the only player to do this twice. Known as the 'Rockhampton Rocket' he was a lefty, or we should say, still is a lefty - he's still with us and was present at Wimbledon 2009 to see Roger Federer win his 15th Slam.
