Cash vs Lendl - 1987 Australian Open Semifinal #2

Part two of my upload. Cash leads 7-6, 5-7, 7-6, 4-3...
Stefan Edberg won the first semifinal earlier that day defeating Wally Masur in three sets.

Is this the final year of the Aussie on Grass? This is awesome seeing this. Thanks for the upload.

Yes that's right. Cash would also defeat the Czech later that year at Wimbly. Great grasscourt tennis era.

I'm rooting for Cash in this one. Never thought of Lendl as a serve and volleyer.

Ivan serve-vollied only at Wimbledon and the Australian Open when it was played at kooyong. He won junior Wimbly in the 1970's. Yeah that '87 semifinal vs cash is very rare and not thought of as much as say the '87 Wimbledon final, the '88 Australian open sf and 1984 US Open semifinal.

Thanks for the info. At least Lendl was good enough to adjust his game. I couldn't see Nadal or Djokovic serving and volley at Wimbledon.
