Zolbol's Tennis Special 16 - Guillermo Vilas's Retirement

[BieberToob]

At the end of 2004 Vilas came to NC for a charity tennis event. Me & my mother met him & talked to him for about 15 min.'s. My mother had a friend from Chile who she called, & asked Vilas to talk to him. They spoke on the phone for about 5 min.'s. Then we got a photo with him. He was very excited to talk to someone from South America on the phone, and he was so friendly. Vilas was a boyhood hero of mine, I saw him play in person in South Orange, in 1975 ('76?)...I shook his hand, he was cool

The most beautiful ground strokes the game

has ever seen. No one else even comes close.

As if touched by God to play the game. Same

for Borg.

@hypertest couldn't agree more!  Those were the days...

Vilas was the greatest!
