Description
Caption: WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND: Rod Laver of Australia (L) and America's Chuck McKinley (R) are seen here 7/5, during semi-final action. McKinley, of St. Ann, MO, routed Britain's Mike Sangster 6-4, 6-4, 8-6, to become the first American in six years to reach the final round of men's singles in the Wimbledon tennis championships. Southpaw Rod Laver gained the other berth in the 7/7 final for the third straight year by crushing India's Ramanathan Arishpan, 6-2, 8-6, 6-2, and was immediately made a 1 to 3 betting favorite to whipe McKinley.
