@lb33isu well said. I believe if tennis was pure, meaning that small headed rackets-possibly wooden were used, Mcenroe would destroy players who came after him.(particularly the likes of Nadal)

Gotta love this stuff.

When you watch Mats, you come away with the impression that he could run all day and not be tired.

@lb33isu I totally agree with You, I watched both those matches on Tv when I was young and expecially in 1985 sf Mcenroe was very great.
The italian speaker, former tennis champion, Nicola Pietrangeli, said that Mcenroe was playing an unbeliveable tennis, like a tennis table,or Ping Pong,on a tennis court.
Mcenroe-wilander is only 7-6, but John won on all surfaces, wimbledon,davis cup clay court, hard court and , of course, supreme court.

Was Mats doin' a bit of coke in the change over?

@lb33isu Agree 100 percent.

New York at the Garden
The next year--January, 85--McEnroe again faced Wilander in the Masters semis and defeated him 6-1, 6-1 in a stunning performance. McEnroe's play at that time was in my opinion the best tennis anyone had ever seen. To this day, McEnroe's touch at net and ability to rob opponents of their timing with groundstrokes hit early remain in my opinion unsurpassed in the game's history. I do not believe any rating of tennis's all-time greats should have any player ahead of McEnroe.

love the camera angle
u'd think after 25 yrs the camera work & instant replays in today's matches would be better but it's actually way worse
