2-time major winner dies
Print Edition
MERVYN Rose, who won two Grand Slam singles titles and two Davis Cups before going into coaching and working with stars, including Billie Jean King and Margaret Court, has died. He was 87. Tennis Australia issued a statement late on Monday confirming the death of Rose, a feisty left-hander who won the Australian Open in 1954 and the French Open in 1958 before turning pro. Rose also won men’s doubles titles at the Australian and US Opens and at Wimbledon, reaching a career-high ranking of No. 3. He represented Australia in Davis Cup between 1950 and 57, and was part of the team which beat the US for the titles in ‘51 and ‘57.
