From the start Connors has more energy than Rosewall. More bounce in his step. 39 or 19, you've gotta be real good to make it to a US open final. Unfortunately, "Muscles" just wasn't there.

He was deeply frustrated and embarrassed by Connors on that day. No rest before the match, 39 years old, an opponent who hit heavy and flat, like he did (Rosewall). No way to win, unless to other guy came in on a real bad day. one of those nightmare matches one never forgets. Too bad there never was a second chance for Kenny to get even. Any way age was all to strong a factor to keep on trying.

@atele6. He didn't have a wide serve to that backhand as well.

Ken tryed to volley to JC`s backhand to no avail.He only made one winning volley to the JC backhand seen in thhis clip, the rest were all errors. Very disappointing to Rosewall to see his signature shot, the backhand, fall apart with unforced errors. He never got into the match at all, JC would not let him.

Age before all else was a big factor here, and the lack of a day`s rest for Kenny also i agree. kenny would have had to be more rested and R.W.A. to make up in consistency and accuracy , not to mention footwork, for his weak serve to Connors punishings returns. I think he went into that final knowing he`d be beaten badly, thus, he has no reason to exert pass his limits and injure himself. Would have liked to see them both play with a rest day in Kenny`s favor, and age beeing equal.

i know what hap?? that serve was awesome (and no grunt)! maybe it was a one off?
my guesses r that espn classics never show entire matches anyways & they finally changed surfaces to be diff from wimbledon

Actually, it doesn't...still impressive to compete at 39 though.
