"Reviviendo la Épica Final de 1975: Newcombe y Connors en el Abierto de Australia" - The New York Times

Era el torneo en casa de Newcombe, y para él, el clasificado número uno, Connors, era el atractivo principal. Sin embargo, el australiano salió victorioso.

At 30 years old, Newcombe was nearing retirement. He had played his home country’s major tournament almost every year since 1960, winning the championship in 1973 and reaching three other semifinals. He had also won Wimbledon three times and the U.S. Championships twice, as well as 16 Grand Slam doubles titles (he would add one more in 1976).

This year’s Australian Open, which begins on Sunday in Melbourne, marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most important matches of Newcombe’s career.
