The 1960s was a turbulent time for tennis, with many of its top stars turning professional. Their subsequent ban from Wimbledon allowed new stars emerge, such as Arthur Ashe, Chuck McKinley, Tony Roche, and John Newcombe. By 1968, the sport had completed its transformation to professionalism as the Open Era began, which saw Rod Laver return to dominate Wimbledon. This book chronicles every men's singles match played at Wimbledon between 1960 and 1969, and includes an index of all quarter finalists. If you ever wanted to know who played and won, this is a must.
