Edberg v Connors - 89 U 4R (1/4)

Stefan Edberg v Jimmy Connors - 89 U 4R. On a miserably cold windy night in NY with unbearable noise of airplanes and bustling crowd, Edberg was having one of his nightmares.

I remember when jimmy left ucla to be a pro. He was a force! !!

[@KingCast65]

I generally prefer Mac to Jimmy just on their games but you gotta recognize what a fucking badass Jimmy was.... look at his longevity and how long he lingered near the top. Fucking monster, outdone only by Fed, really. Name someone else, I dare you.

I believe it was John Alexander who said if Connors had had a good serve, he would be unbeatable.

[@Head318Hunter]

Yea Connors serve was just like a formality to get the ball into play. Not a weapon at all. Then on the flip side he had one of the best return of serves in history. So being up a break or even 2 didn't always mean that much against Connors.

1989 and at first glance I thought Jimmy was STILL using that 1967 T2000

[@willritter4076]

Edberg got his revenge for this in '91 and '92.

[@teflonmagnet]

Nearly 30 yrs?!!! IMPOSSIBLE

[@francomanca]

Jimbo...true grit... Edberg...perfection of feline serve and volley...

[@MrSteamroller76]

Rino Tommasi and Ubaldo Scanagatta are great italian tennis commentators. Rino Tommasi is celebrated worldwide for being one of the greatest tennis and boxe journalists in the world....Please respect for them...
