PertSnergleman's Review:
-------------------------------------------
In 1984, Ivan Lendl was struggling to shed the image of being a cowardly player, so it was a definitive moment in his career when he survived a bruising semifinal match with Australia's Pat Cash.
Lendl, the man who solves the Rubik's Cube in seconds, learns languages in months and sometimes seems to have an Apple computer for a brain, glared back at Cash and pointed his finger right back.
Cash, who is a hot-tempered brawler and all-around pretty hard case, took the gesture wrong. Or, perhaps, took it just as it was intended.
He pointed his finger at Lendl as though to say, "Don't you show me up or we'll play some Australian rules tennis."
"Don't you yell at me," Lendl yelled at the muscular Cash.
Such grace was perhaps too much to ask of Cash, a tempermental teenager. He flung his racquet deep into the courtside seats at the end of his match and was fined $2,000 by the Mens' International Professional Tennis Council. A council spokesman said that they considered the emotion of the moment, but that the danger to spectators forced their hand.

Awesome match, the lobs by Lendl are a piece of art.. exquisite and accurate❤

This was the second match of the day as there was an over 35 match between Stan Smith and John Newcombe. CBS asked for that fourth match because in 1983 all three matches ended quickly and CBS had time to fill . With a fourth match they figured there would be less time to fill. On this day though it was over 12 hours of live continuous coverage.

1984 Amazing year!!

[@patoconnor9600]

Best year ever!

[@johnrenehan7406]

Lendl looked pretty flat and a little weary in that first set . What amazes me - is how sharp Cash was hitting in those first ,5 games especially

[@treychrs]

Cash was still using a wood racquet.

[@johnrenehan7406]

Yes ! And his shots from every part of the court were at times phenomenal!!! Modern racquets & strings - make today's players look better than wat they really are I think - specially when you look at these older gen players

[@murph165]

How did the hell did they miss the post-match handshake???

[@travb705]

TV does that all the freaking time!!! I have no idea why. Intense 3 hour match and you don’t show the final handshake. It is so ignorant.

[@rishikalyan2029]

Lendl is the father of modern tennis

[@russellfrancis6294]

And only three years later, Pat Cash would beat this same Ivan Lendl for the wimbledon men’s singles championship.

[@shandirocks]

Got his revenge

[@robocop5935]

Did pat rafter copy the style of pat cash.? They both were Similar in playing style.

[@zeddeka]

Up until Lleyton Hewitt, pretty much all the Australians played like that

[@jimmylyons7032]

Terrible umpiring
