So nice to watch a high quality video from this era. Thank you
the technical skills of these guys are out of this world
Newcombe was a wonderful player. So skilful.
That backhand lob of Newcombe's --- I love the fact that he used it so much.
This is wonderful, thank you for doing this, much to learn from the classic game!
Amazing TV quality!!! Thank you for sharing this
Standard picture quality in most countries for the TV. The ones that used the PAL tv system that is, which was basically most western countries outside north America
Fantastic picture quality , much better than matches from the 80s, 90s
I'm guessing you're American? The picture quality was standard for the time in most countries. North America and Japan used a TV system called NTSC which has far fewer pixels and much lower picture quality. Australia, like most of Europe, used the PAL system which has more pixels and therefore significantly better picture quality.

Changed From Grass To Hard Courts in 1988.. Flinders Park Then
Later Melbourne Park..
Mats Wilander Only Player to Win On Grass and Hard Court in Winning Australian Open..
Bravo Upload..
John Newcombe Serves And has A Ball in hand Whilst Playing..
Steffi Graf did The Same Thing..
Practically everyone from the golden age did, all the way back to Tilden at least. I still do it now. Never have to think about it.
Great quality of the video , great match , and great newcombe
Or give people playing today, wooden rackets.
Classic,outstanding tennis matches by legends of the court.
A/O was very rough & ready then, unlike now the best Slam I'd say.
A poll of the players a few years ago, said the AO at Melbourne Park was their favourite GS tournament.
If Jimbo had kept playing the AO, how many AOs would he have won? I know it wasn’t a prestigious tournament back then and most of the top pros skipped it for the Boca Ratón Open which was also played in December.
Please upload the 1976 Australian Open Final between Mark Edmondson and John Newcombe
Give John a racket they make today
Top!
And Connors vs Dent AO 1974?
Some notes to self:
11:12, 12:56, 13:26, 13:58,
Connors nel 1974/75 tirava la prima di servizio ( risulta evidente dai filmati di repertorio ) , con innegabile vantaggio .
Dopodiche` fino a Wimbledon 1982 ha smesso di tirare una prima incisiva e pressoche` piatta , optando per una prima tagliata con diversi effetti e angolazioni .
Le ipotesi sono 2 :
scelta strategica infruttuosa soprattutto su erba ( altresi` su sintetico e cemento , ma in misura minore ... ) , oppure problemi alla schiena .
Sta di fatto che per rivincere Wimbledon nel 1982 ha dovuto tirare la prima al fine di conquistare punti economici ( e sicuramente avra` effettuare allenamenti specifici per riabituarsi ad una prima di servizio piatta , oltreche` allenarsi ad evitare evitare doppi falli , passando da una prima piatta ad una seconda tagliata ) .
Back around this time you didn’t see all the top players at the Australian Open. I don’t know. I think it was played around Christmas
Dulu... Out.. Out.. Out...
Gitu ya maennya. Era roger ssampe skrg.. Seruuuu
Marlboro adds! LOL
Venus Vs Raymond 2004 R3 plz😊😊😊
Odd to me, how Connors early in his career served and volleyed when his serve nor his volley was known as being great, later in his career he became a strict if albeit attacking baseliner... Was it simply getting older the change of gamestyles?
I think Connor's volleying is very under-rated. He played S&V at Wimbledon every time he showed up, including his last title in 1982 against JP McEnroe, and at the Australian too, as you see here. And at Forest Hills when it was on grass. He was very capable, if not exactly a touch volleyer.
I think Pancho Segura was the difference. When he had real influence Connors came in more. He's not pure s/v in 74/75 either. He s/v 60% to maybe 2/3 of the serves over the 74/75 grass matches that are available. A little over 60% in this match.
It's not just the s/v though, it's off the ground. When they rally in this match, and one or the other comes in it's almost always Connors. How many balls that landed on the service line or inside does he stay back on in this match? Pretty much none. Actually, it's more like anything that lands within a couple feet of the service line that he comes in. Now go look at a 1980s match and count how many balls or at or inside the service line and he stays back. In his 1981 Wimbledon semi with Borg he s/v 1 time in 5 sets.
I first noticed it in 1979. It was SO obvious how much more he stayed back. I would never call mid 70s Connors a baseliner. He is an all court player. While not a traditionally great volleyer, he was an exceptionally aggressive, decisive volleyer. Not everyone puts away high volleys.
I don't think it had anything to do with age. Connors was still in his 20s when I noticed the change. There are a bunch of 76-78 matches where he comes in a bunch, but I don't think he was ever as aggressive about coming in as this era. Again, a ball lands at the service line and this guy is coming in. And I don't mean just on grass,
@@EJP286CRSKW Connors did not s/v close to the amount he did here in the 82 final.
He absolutely came in far less, at times, by the late 70s going into the 80s. Believe me, I know. It was a huge pet peeve of mine going back 45 years ago.
@@lancer3412 79- 81 he couldnt win a semi either at least in slams. Thanks to you know who
@@haroldsmyth6685 Borg and Mcenroe, that's no secret. But that wasn't the discussion. The discussion, at least my part, was how much he did or didn't s/v, particularly on grass.
True icons of the 90s, men's tennis. 💪🔥🌟⭐
90s? It's 1975!

WEIRD tennis match-ups... rosewall always beat newcombe, newcombe beat connors here and connors routinely whipped rosewall easily....
Newk beat Rosewall for Wimbledon 1970. Connors only played Ken a couple of times.
Rosewall beat Connors their first meeting at age 37 but than lost rest when he was 38 thru 40.
Imagine what they couldve done with modern day rackets.
It was modern day rackets then & the best. Composite had yet to be invented nearly 20yrs away. They should have one event with wooden rackets & see how players manage. I think Alcaraz & that new bunch would adjust to it.
@@seltaeb3302 alacrez would break those rackets and strings if he didnt change to continental or eastern grip.
Hu
They were real men back in the '70s.
australian on grass?
It was a grass event at the old Kooyong grass courts before it moved to the newly constructed hard courts of Melbourne Park (then known as Flinders Park) in 1988.
Well, you must be a true tennis lover
@@tqsuited And it was a grass court event before the Open era all the way back to the beginning in 1921 or so. It was played in a different city every year pre-Open.
