yo tengo una grabación de mi cumpleaños en 1986 justo ese día que se jugaba el partido

This was Borg’s last win at Wimbledon

1984 McEnroe.................GOAT

MASTER JOHN.

Where is the ball? 😂

ah je m'en souviens tellement ce jour-là c'était un vendredi comme souvent je pensais qu'il allait perdre borg à cette époque c'était impressionnant c'était vraiment une tête d'affiche unique au monde et en plus vraiment c'est un talent inouï quand je pense avec le matériel qu'ils avaient c'était vraiment des sportifs qui était vraiment doté

J adorais cette série étant petit..que de souvenirs !

Connors was a machine. Between (and including) '74 and '85, he missed the semifinals of major tournaments only FIVE times! He only played the Australian twice (won once, second the other time), and didn't play the French the first 5 of those years. But when he went, he started in the semis! Oh, and of those 5 times where he was off and didn't make the semis? 4 of those times, he lost in the quarters. Connors was probably the best pure tennis player in history. Take power and conditioning out of the sport, and I'd take Jimmy over anyone that ever played. Not saying he was out of shape, but he was in shape to play tennis. Plus, his competitiveness kept him out there at times more so than his fitness. Had he been in the shape that Lendl was in, with that kind of power (forget Roddick, etc.; we're not getting crazy here), I doubt he would have been beatable during the '80s. I played with a T2000 racket for a (short) time. Put that thing in the hands of a pro player since the '90s and we'll see how good they are.

@rafamericano. Enjoy your certifiable delusion! The 2008 Federer vs. Nadal Wimbledon Men's Singles Final is the most grossly overrated men's tennis match in history!!!! Every point was a baseline "war-of-attrition" slugfest guaranteed to be a truly wonderful cure for insomnia!! There was not one single classic, all-time memorable point during that exceedingly, tediously, overly long, sleep-inducing contest! Only unthinking so-called "tennis fans" find serve-and-volley boring to watch! At least serve-and-volleyers don't drag out points unnecessarily long! Tennis needs a diversity of playing styles in order to be a truly compelling spectacle to watch!!! All baseline play with neither player going to the net except to shake hands at the end of a match is equally as dull as cardboard as tennis that is all serve-and-volley play! Truly knowledgeable - and the word knowledgeable cannot be emphasized too strongly - tennis fans recognize that fact!

The only Genius of tennis !

Gaaaammmeeee.... OVER!

Nobody beats Gael Monfils 20 times in a row! Djokovic: Hold my beer!

Those angles…. And the ease. Professional tennis today is so predictable and inelegant

Such a beautiful style of tennis, BB... A mix between power and beauty of shots. Greetings from Rome Italy

Interesting how finesse is the way the game was played back then. Now it's nothing but how hard you can hit it. I'll take the old days. More enjoyable to watch.

Oh but for the chock at the French! Love ya Mac😊

The best player of all time, McEnroe in 1984

McEnroes groundstrokes were great in 1984. A thing of beauty.

This was an execution.

I forgot Mac got to the Semis in 85. Pretty awesome.

Arias was out of his league.

Only man to be world #1 in both Singles and doubles at the Same time. Awesome.

Lastima que no está traducida al español y yo emocionada que la a podía ver pero que chasco me he llevado no puedo el inglés

Merci

Connors is probably the only lefthanded tennisplayer whose BH was much stronger than his FH

Mac is all male around GOAT. 76-76-1 I think. Navratilova female all around GOAT.

Am I right in thinking that Lendl's topspin backhand kind of truncates the stroke? . That is, he doesn't bring the stroke to the extend of the stroke, like, say, Wawrinka or Thiem or Dimitrov. Is that an accurate description?

When McEnroe blew the French Open to Lendl earlier this year, it took some the wind out of his sails, except here.

Feel better with Ben Gay

@tdane5017. An interesting thing about McEnroe's career is that had he gotten himself into excellent physical fitness condition in 1977/1978 and not played any doubles matches at all, I don't think there is any question that not only would he have defeated Borg in their classic 1980 Wimbledon final, but would also have won at least 11 major singles titles instead of the 7 major singles titles that he won! I realize, of course, that McEnroe used doubles to keep his volley sharp and to avoid off-court physical fitness training, but the sad reality is that all of those extra hours that he spent on the tennis courts at the 4 majors playing doubles wore him down for his singles matches in the later rounds of the major tournaments. His dominance in singles play would have definitely lasted longer if he had been in great physical fitness condition from the start of his pro career and not wasted his energy playing doubles!

met lendl coaching at the orange bowl a few years back...what you see is what you get...NO PERSONALITY

Revenge for Davis Cup 84 ?

Gemini man avec Ben Murphy est la série culte de cette année-là. Souvenir de mon enfance, une série que j'adorais voir .

Amazing to see this… very high quality tennis.. whatever happened to H. Sundstrom ? He fell off the map, but was so good…

I see the teeth were fixed

My goodness, the Camera Man was trying WAY TOO HARD! Kept going for close-ups DURING THE POINTS!

Mac seeing Scanlon in Lendl's box...Insult to injury...LOL......Great video.....Lendl def one of, in not my all time favorite players

Mac enroe borg connors lendl les monstres du tennis des années 80 plus jamais on verra du tennis comme ça eh oui

Mac enroe et borg lendl

Thanks for the video! Awesome! I made a hip hop remix: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4GoXnuhjrt0eaMfeature=shared

I know this is old footage, but the scoreboard is frequently wrong and it's irritating.

Should of won french open 1984 ,he let his guard down , when he thought he had won it , and never recovered

So many people coughing.

Ben quoi, Il est invisible, pourtant ça se voit 😆

Japanese TV shows are noisy because the announcers and commentators talk even while the game is in play.

Great power from Lendl. He is still wonderful to watch.

VOIX TROP DEGEULASSE DU GEEK

TIC

These were the days. Tennis was so big in the US at this time, for one weekend every year, Pat Summerall left his friendly NFL confines to cover this great tournament. Jimmy Conners four-time US OPEN 🏆 at his absolute best.

Big mac la finale de Roland garrot qui ne gagnera pas alors qui a joué deux set de rêve dommage son rêve s est envolé qu'elle tristesse mais restera pour toujours un grand tennisman il avait un jeu unique et exceptionnel bravo pour lui monsieur mac enroe quel génie
