In the pantheon of Australian players who graced the game across the 1950s, Mervyn Rose took his place assuredly and persuasively.  In that decade, the left-handed Rose got on the board twice at the majors, winning the Australian Championships in 1954, collecting the French Championship crown four years later.  But there was more.  He was a top-of-the-line Davis Cup player, and in doubles he won every major except for the French Championships.  As a coach, he helped Billie Jean King and Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario among other notable players.
