Posted April 29, 200619 yr Muscles serves up game to relish 29.04.2006 THERE is one tennis match that eight-time Grand Slam winner Ken Rosewall would pay to watch – Ice Cool Roger versus Rocket Rod. Unfortunately for Rosewall and the rest of the tennis world, the chances of seeing Roger Federer and Rod Laver face-off are slim – at least, until time travel is possible. But the big problem exercising “Muscles†mind as he lent his still lean but slightly more leathery face to the Australian Festival of Tennis launch at the Hyatt Regency Coolum was: In what era would you play this classic clash? Would you transport forward a blindingly fast-footed young Rockhampton ace, who would win two Grand Slams, and put a graphite racquet in his hand? Or would you make Roger serve with the old wooden clunkers used back in Laver’s day? “It’s hard to make a comparison, and Rod would say that, too,†said the 71-year-old Rosewall. He did not make a prediction of the likely outcome. “Against someone with Federer’s ability, it’s hard to say. I think you would find if you give the old racquets to the players of today, it might bring them back a pace or two.†Rosewall said events such as the Australian Festival of Tennis, to be staged from June 11-18 at the Hyatt, helped boost the game by increasing the level of public interest. The Coast’s own tennis star, Pat Rafter, is going to be part of a bumper Starlight Cup Celebrity Challenge that will include cricket slammers Allan Border and Simon O’Donnell, alongside entertainers such as Holly Brisley, Shannon Noll, Richard Clapton and Delta Goodrem. Rosewall, Tony Roche and John Newcombe will also be in action. Festival events include the Australian Corporate Doubles Championship, the Australian States Junior Challenge Tournament and the Junior Slam Open Tournament.
