i am to say cause lendl beat connors and mcenroe when he buffed up and started lifting weights he dominated them and he would have done the same thing to borg all those 3 guys could beat lendl till lendl got stronger.

Borg made me start playing tennis, like many others. I copied his grip and I still put massive topspin on the ball today. Great great player. A baseliner who forced himself to volley on grass and won Wimbledon a zillion times!

you are wrong my friend to think this way. borg played a lendl when he was inexperienced and thin. had he played the lendl of 1985-8 he would have been killed.

Sampras played his entire career with a Wilson Prostaff made in 1980.

McEnroe was the last (and only one I can remember) that was ranked #1 in the World in both Singles and Doubles. That has to count for something.
That's a good one.
Anyway, there's no question that McEnroe is the most entertaining player to watch. Every stroke was an adventure in artistry, that moonball he served up to Bjorn was awesome. He looks so stiff as a player and everything was just so precision, goddamn bloody amazaing stuff.
The other tennis artists don't have records like Mac. Edberg, Mecir, Nastase. Who else can even be said to have that kind of touch on the ball.

Correction: McEnroe's fitness back then was not the highest of his peers, but it is now. He's a bad-assed fitty year-old.
