in the new york times there is a great article about the change of grips in tennis and they say that Borg was the revolution and made very popular all this top spin play. " The trick " was that you could hit the ball hard without having problems with the net or throwing the ball too long. The players that came afterwards followed this pattern. I think he changed the sport for the worse and we lost the beauty of the game, that only Mc Enroe and Federer have been able to perform in modern times
Das war der Gipfel an der Spitze. Mehr ging einfach nicht. Alles war bis zur Perfektion ausgeschöpft. Bin stolz das es meine Zeit war und erleben durfte.
Borg did never won US Open. 1978 he was injured and 1980 he was closest with another classical final against Mc Enroe... Connor is the only one who had won it on grass, clay and asphalt.
I think that Borg, like most European players, was used to play on clay and then he went on to win Wimbledon, that's spring and early summer. By the beginning of September he was not that fit for New York. If he had really practised to be at the top of his form he would have won this tournament. One more thing, when you are injured, you don't play, when you play is because you're fit and there are no excuses, Connors played much better and he won on merit

A quem interessar: andei ANOS à procura da primeira música, depois de a ter gravado da VOXX em tempos idos. Há cerca de 10 anos finalmente encontrei, e consegui comprar o CD em segunda mão. É a Splinter Mix do Jesus Coming In For The Kill, dos Life's Addiction. Alguém fez upload aqui: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TdwPmyaOcyY.html Recomendo o CD, se conseguirem encontrar, tem mais 3 mixes da mesma música que são bastante boas.
This may be the final where Borg had a horrendous blister on his rt.finger which obviously affected his play. Borg pretty much owned Conners in head to head where it counted.Awesome competitive drive.
