yes, typing too quickly ;-) Muscles to his friends. I once travelled on a 
plane
with him. His right forearm was twice the size of his left. Amazing player.
Probably the best Australia has had (though he never won Wimbledon, he almost
certainly would have if the open era had arrived 10 years earlier and he was
still competing in finals into his 40's. Hoad was more explosive and Laver
perhaps had an edge, but none of them went into a match up with Ken thinking 
it
would be easy. Best backhand and volley I've ever seen (for single 
hand/wooden
racquets)

Cheers
