I remember that match. That was the Golden Days of Tennis. You had all these personality and different styles of play to choose from. If you loved the anti-hero there was Connors and McEnroe. If you loved the quiet hard worker there was Lendl. You can root for the serve and volley guy or someone like Lendl who played the baseline game. Today the game seems so homogeneous.

They need to go back to wooden racquets. Watching 6’9” slav with a synthetic racquet strung to 8 million pounds per square inch isn’t watching tennis.

Connors has had three hip replacements.

IIRC, Conners looked into the camera and said, “This is what they wanted”. Great TV moment...

I can’t believe it was 23 years ago. I remember watching that match live. It was one of the best tennis matches on history. Not g fur just the tennis but the drama and the excitement.

Well, I loved that era, too. But my memories go even further back, to Rod Laver, Roy Emerson, Margaret Court, John Newcombe, and Arthur Ahse. Tennis was interesting back then, too.

Don’t forget Bjon Borg and Michael Chang.

The Chang vs Lendl match goes down as one of the best.
