As mentioned in some other thread, Ken Rosewall, 85
And Rod Laver, 81. What a doubles pair

If we're partnering up, Fred Stolle (two Slams w/Rosewall '68-'69) and Roy Emerson (three Slams w/Laver '61-'71) are still knocking around too. Rosewall/Laver were US Open finalists in '73. Almost all of the Aussie greats from that period are still going. Lew Hoad (who died in 1994) is maybe the only one missing?

Kreskin still alive at 83!
Almost 85 now... and I didn't know until I saw him open for Yo La Tengo tonight.
