1969 US Open – Men's singles
Rod Laver defeated Tony Roche in the final, 7–9, 6–1, 6–2, 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 1969 US Open. With the win, he completed the Grand Slam, and remains the only man in the Open Era to do so in singles. Laver also became the second man in history to complete the double career Grand Slam, after Roy Emerson. Arthur Ashe was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Laver. 1969 would be the last year when a player reached all four major finals, until 2006 when Roger Federer did so. Seeds
