Roy Stanley Emerson (born November 3, 1936) is a former champion Australian tennis player. During his career, he won a total of 12 Grand Slam singles titles and 16 Grand Slam men's doubles titles. He is the only male player in the history of the game to have won singles and doubles titles at all four Grand Slams, and his 28 Grand Slam crowns stand as an all-time record for a male player. Most of his titles were won in the final years of the period where the Grand Slam events were open only to amateur players, just before the start of the 'Open Era' when professionals were admitted into tennis's most prestigious events.
