"The Rocket" Rod Laver, 31, defeats Tony Roche in September 1969 and wins the fourth and final major championship of that season capping the only Open Era "Grand Slam" -- Laver being alone in making that achievement -- one of those extremely rare "one of a kind"/"Holy Grails" in the annals of tennis-records. It was a very foggy, humid day when the grass hardly gave any bounce on the balls forcing the players to be all-out aggressive in their style of play. The late, great legendary champion and expert commentator Jack Kramer offers many invaluable insights -- flanked by a very young Bud Collins. Enjoy this unique and very rare display of precision-tennis at its finest under extremely difficult conditions!
