• Former world No 1 won US Open and French Open singles titles
• Stolle helped Australia win three straight Davis Cups from 1964

Australian tennis great Fred Stolle, a former world No 1, dual grand slam singles champion and three-times Davis Cup winner, has died at the age of 86.

To modern-day fans, Stolle will be best remembered for his colourful commentary and anecdotes after featuring on TV for almost 50 years. To old-timers and aficionados, Stolle will be regarded as a giant of the game during the halcyon days of the 1960s when Australia ruled the tennis world and Stolle ruled some of the country’s finest ever players.
