@MrChuddi I agree, the conditions were completely different wooden rackets, different technology, etc, however apart from the obvious slower serving, the grounds strokes are'nt that different. Grass is slower than clay anyway even today.

I lived opposite the old Centre court at this time and I remember watching this match on the TV as wasn't able to get into the grounds - completely packed and had the windows open and the TV sound off. I could hear all the cheering, etc, as if I was inside the grounds. A memorable final was this. Nowadays you don't get to watch anything like this. A few aces and the match is over - that's what you get to watch. Thanks so much for this upload
