Explanation

Ken Rosewall, the Australian tennis great, was nicknamed 'Muscles' due to his slight and wiry build - the nickname was ironic. He was one of the finest players of the 1950s and 1960s, known for his exceptional backhand and longevity in the sport. Borg was known as 'The Ice Man', Perry as 'The Last Brit', and Budge was called 'Don' rather than having a famous nickname.
