![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Ken_Rosewall_portrait.jpg/220px-Ken_Rosewall_portrait.jpg)
This is a list of the main career statistics of Australian former tennis player Ken Rosewall whose playing career ran from 1951 until 1980. He played as an amateur from 1951 until the end of 1956 when he joined Jack Kramer's professional circuit. As a professional he was banned from playing the Grand Slam tournaments as well as other tournaments organized by the national associations of the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF). In 1968, with the advent of the Open Era, the distinction between amateurs and professionals disappeared and Rosewall was again able to compete in most[a] Grand Slam events until the end of his career in 1978. During his career he won eight Grand Slam, 15 Pro Slam and three Davis Cup titles.

Notes
[edit]- ^ Power struggles between the ILTF and the commercial promoters National Tennis League (NTL) and World Championship Tennis (WCT) resulted in Rosewall missing a number of Grand Slam tournaments during the early 1970s.
- ^ The Paris NTL event took place prior to the open era but is listed on the ATP website as it took place in 1968, the year the open era started.
