Wow what a great match! Every point suspenseful/entertaining and The volleys and returns what great form, finesse and placement. Thank you! Haven't seen matches like this since I was a child but this was 1975 so i was 3 yrs old so didnt get to really watch Newcombe until this match...I forgot how great they were! 👍 ❤

I honestly don’t know if I have ever seen a drop shot, overhead combo before. 1:43 Very crafty play by Newk.

[@mikerichards5610]

It was a great match. When I saw it live it was very exciting. Liked both.

[@markusher1621]

Great highlights of an absolutely fantastic match!

[@acsmith818]

I love Jimmy Connors. What a guy.

[@movdqa]

Entertaining match. The vast majority of rec players, though, will probably never get to experience grasscourt tennis.

[@AinSoph73]

This is astonishing; I had no idea any match played in the 70s with one guy using a wood racquet reached this level

[@LordCumquat]

I watched that I was 17 years old in Melbourne Australia….go Newc !!!!!

[@canadiantennispro]

jimmy just on fire in those days ..........so tenacious and attacking everytime

[@PATRIARCA173]

Formidable. Me río yo de los que dicen que ahora hay más calidad

[@martinestebanruizdeza8773]

Gran partido. Había que ver con que raquetas y con que pelotas jugaban, y con mucho menos apoyo económico de la ATP y con menos equipo que lo que tienen jugadores top de ahora

🎉🎉🎉

A seriously high standard. Newk was laser focussed. Connors playing the clown was surprising.

[@AinSoph73]

It's never that simple with Jimmy...had to have been a thought that he could disrupt Newk's focus by acting out between points

[@MistahhMingus]

I feel like I could’ve beaten John Newcombe, just crack open a bottle of alcohol and homie can’t control himself 😂

[@Ajayk9099]

Jimmy played many loose shots, no surprise he lost.
