This is the best tennis moment I have ever witnessed. I still have this match on VHS, and although the quality is not the best, I still enjoy watching it from time to time. CLASSIC. Connors was 39, and sooooooooo far past his prime, yet he was taking everyone out, simply by never giving up.
Please let me know your thoughts. :)
