Gene Mayer was an awesome player in his day. Whatched him play an exhibition match agaisnt Jimmy Connors in Melbourne, way back in the 80 s. What an awesome match ; in particular was impressed by his smooth accuracy and very good net skills ; for a two handed back hand player he really could volley
How did Mayer ever win a match. His ground strokes are average, his serve is a mess with 2 weird hitches, and he shows no energy on the court. John Mac is playing down to his level. After watching Jannick Sinner at the Australian open, Mayer looks like a club player. The evolution of the game from 1984 to 2025 is remarkable.
