Laver defeated Newcombe in the finals at Wimbledon, then again at Longwood, often executing shots that would make Newcombe writhe in desperation. On occasion, when he can be repeatedly kept out of position and be forced into making poor shots, Laver will lose a set. When this happens, he will grin at his opponent, implying that both players know it will not occur again. It usually doesn...
