Australian tennis icon Neale Fraser has died, aged 91. Fraser won 19 major championships across singles and doubles, including Wimbledon and US Open singles titles. But it is contribution to Davis Cup as both a player and captain for which he is remembered most fondly. “I could never think of anything better than representing your country,” Fraser said regularly.

In that same year, he reached the final of the Australian Open and the semi-finals at Roland Garros — his equal best result at each of those two majors. The legendary left-hander had his career-best year in 1960, when he won Wimbledon, the second of his two titles at Flushing Meadows, and got to the final at his home slam for a third and final time. In all three finals, he faced compatriot Rod Laver.
