@@joeenglertEXACTLY. This was Ivan Lendl at his absolute greatest. Connors was still battling but that’s sports. At that time, men deep in their thirties weren’t quite beating the number one player.
Took Lendl 6 years until the age of 25 to really dominate Connors, however you have to give Connors his credit, he spanned 3 decades until 1996 at 44...that is some going....
Lendl a eu beaucoup de chance que Clerc batte Connors en 5 sets en quart de finale de Roland Garros 81...car avec Connors en face de lui,en demi-finale, Lendl se serait fait battre...Lendl n'avait pas encore le numéro de Connors en 1981,loin de là, même 😂
Can’t believe Connors was still playing with that relic of racquet in 1986
He went to the ProStaff in 1984 and made it to the US Open semis. For some reason, he went back to the T-2000 in 1986.
Connors hated that Lendl had his number.
at that time,,lendel had all the numbers

Lendl chipped to Jimmy’s forehand. That was his strategy.

Brutal hitting!
People think McEnroe was boorish. He had NOTHING on Jimmy!
