I understood mac654. You are right the one grip game did work for him,but no one plays with a continental grip anymore. I always saw John as possibly the best mover on the court with lightning reflexes. Man was he just pure pleasure to watch and the tantrums were so amusing. The game misses him dearly.
Mac is a nice guy, really! When hes on the court, he really has this thing where he doesnt trust the lineman/umpire. Its like hes paranoid agaisnt there calls. But in real life the dude is ok. He was so awesome with the wooden racquet. If Mac had is way the current pros would have to go back to wood. Im not kidding
Hey Schrittweiser, I agree with EVERYthing you say except the "one grip game" comment. I dont think that hurt him too much, in fact, for what he needed to do, which was get to the game, he had almost perfect groudstrokes. You cant attack a 2nd serve and come to the net if you are taking the kind of swipe that Nadal does at a forehand! I think everything else you said was completely true. Happy New Year

At 59 seconds, look at the Refs glasses. The dude is blind as a bat.

Closest in talent next to Laver. John would readily admit that Laver had more talent than he.
