Newcombe played several sports as a boy before devoting himself to tennis. Newcombe's powerful serve and volley was the backbone of his attacking game. He frequently came up with a second-serve ace. He was the Australian junior champion from 1961 to 1963 and was a member of Australia's Davis Cup winning team in 1964. He won his first Grand Slam title in 1965 by taking the Australian Championships doubles title with fellow Australian Tony Roche. That same year, the duo won the Wimbledon doubles title. They teamed to win the Australian doubles championship three more times, Wimbledon another four times and the US Championships in 1967, the French Championships in 1967, and the French Open in 1969. They won 12 Grand Slam titles, which remained the all-time record for a men's doubles team until 2013, when it was surpassed by Bob and Mike Bryan.The most expensive item with a signature of John Newcombe (Tennis Autographed FDC Signed by Vic Seixas, John Newcombe, Roy Emerson +) was sold in September 2022 for £94.93 while the cheapest item (John Newcombe Signed 4x6 Photo Legendary Tennis Player HOF Wimbledon Autograph) found a new owner for £0.58 in March 2024.
