Riga 153:

Though he has played few Grand Prix tournaments, as a WCT player, he had enough Grand Prix Points to play the Masters held about ten days after his WCT Finals victory but he refused the invitation for he was very tired after such a long season and he took his holidays of end of the year (Newcombe knew the identical situation and acted the same and strangely enough both players came back at the same tournament, the 1972 Australian Open).

Rosewall won 8 tournaments and about 7978.24% of his matches (76 out of 9697) in 1971. In direct confrontations he trailed Newcombe 1-3, Laver 2-3 but has dominated Smith 1-0 (Rosewall never met Kodes that year).

Collins, Elian or Geist ranked Rosewall third after Newcombe and/or Smith. Tingay ranked Rosewall 4th, Rino Tommasi 1st, and the Martini-Rossi award was given jointly to Smith and Newcombe : that year too, as in 1970, there was no clearly undisputed number one.
