I miss this kind of tennis. The level of intensity is awesome. Two old rivals, McEnroe 4 years past his prime and Lendl right about in the middle of his. One of, if not THE greatest baseline player of all time VS one of, if not THE greatest S&V'r ever. Classic style match. Love it!
bad calls were not determinative in this tie-break the basic problem Ivan sets up for John is. John cannot afford to hit two or three volleys against Lendl because the clay slows them enough he can run them down yet John can't hit volleys so fine as to leave no margin for error without making too many errors. John's errors did him in.
Incontro mi-ti-co!! Ricordo che la partita si gioco' in due giorni - sera e mattino successivo - ed (incredibilmente) mio papa' mi lascio' a casa da scuola per vederne la fine! Da non credere... Se il tempo non mi ha annebbiato la memoria, ricordo Lendl vincere 10 o 15 scambi consecutivi con una serie impressionante di 'righe', e l'espressione incredula del grande Mac. Il commento di Tommasi e Clerici su TV Koper TeleCapodistria rendeva i match ancora piu' belli. Eh si...bei tempi!!!
@luciusinfabula è vero telecapodistria!!!! fantastico, comunque john è john , quanto ho amato questo giocatore'' , quando si incazzava era uno spasso non mollava mai, che talento ragazzi!!
WOW... That just sucks for McEnroe. For one, how could they call the volley at 5-3 (Lendl) out?! Even worse was the ruling. Replay the point?! The call in no way affected Lendl's play on the ball, and HE HAD NONE! The ball was behind him! McEnroe should've been awarded the point! And the umpire doesn't even check the mark at 6-3 (Lendl)?! COME ON! What is he afraid that McEnroe will bust his face in if he argues which is the right mark? GOD! That was TERRIBLE!
