| “ | In my opinion, we had Vines, who for one year was the best player ever, and we have Budge, who for the best three years of his life, nobody could hold a candle to. For the best five-year period I give it to Jack Kramer. The best ten-year period I give it to Laver. The best twenty-year period, I give to Gonzales. The best twenty-five to thirty-year period I give it to Rosewall. | ” |
