It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Australian tennis legend Neale Fraser at the age of 91.
Tributes have flooded in from around the globe for the late Fraser, including a heartfelt message from his former opponent and Australian tennis great Rod Laver.
Laver expressed his condolences on X, stating: “I am heartbroken to hear about the loss of my dear friend and fellow left-handed player, Neale Fraser.”
“He was an exceptional talent during a remarkable era of Australian tennis – an incredible World No.1, a Grand Slam champion, and an emblem of the Davis Cup.”
“Neale defeated me in two major finals, inspiring me to elevate my own game.”
“My deepest sympathies go out to Thea and Neale’s extended family. You will be profoundly missed, my friend. Rest in peace.”
