Uppity youth versus grand old man: a brilliant backdrop for a Wimbledon final. It happened nearly 50 years ago when 39-year-old Ken Rosewall took on the American Jimmy Connors who was 18 years his junior.
Connors annihilated Rosewall 6-1, 6-1, 6-4 to collect the first of his two Wimbledon titles and deprive the Australian of the only Grand Slam tournament crown missing from his trophy cabinet.
