Roland Garros, juin, période des examens en Belgique... Je les ai regardé le noeud au ventre en me disant que je ferais mieux d'étudier les maths, mais c'était plus fort que tout... Bjorg la machine, Lendl qui verrouillait sa prise comme un étau avec la magnésie sortie des poches... Le temps "perdu" à regarder ces matches c'était génial. J'ai retrouvé ces sensations avec Justine et Kim des années plus tard.
@@maartijff144 Borg had a lot of success against Lendl and was still dominating him in exhibitions in 1982. Older Lendl definitely became tougher, but still lost crucial matches to Mats Wilander (a poor man's Borg) at the French in 1985 and US Open in 1988. So doubt Borg would be baffled by him.
@@SuperHammarenabsolutely. And Borg didn’t even want to play tennis in 1981. He had to be talked into playing by his coach and girlfriend. So I’d say he was well past his prime here in this match. And still won 😝
Borg avait un enorme avantage sur son revers, les points importants ont ete gagnes sur cette diagonale. Aucun joueur de cette epoque des petits tamis n a eu un tel revers. Egalement le jeu de jambe, dont Mc Enroe a dit qu aucun athlete de ce niveau n a joue au tennis.
True, but Lendl wasn´t in his prime. I think it would be really exciting to see them play both in their prime. Borg maybe a little faster but Lendl more powerful groundstrokes.... we will never know!
@@maartijff144 Borg was incredibly fast and while Lendls strokes were certainly more powerful/ flat, Borg's serve was just as good, highly underrated. At Ivan's peak it would have been a huge battle but I think Borg would still have the advantage on clay and grass and Ivan on hard courts. Wilander was able to beat Lendl at the French on more than a few occasions after 1981.
@@SuperHammaren I got my years mixed up. '82 was when Wilander beat Vilas. That went way too long. Then '83 was the exciting final when Yannick got over Mats. '83 was exciting for Noah's attacking game. They speeded up the court in 1983, didn't they? Good for the spectacle, I think.
@@alanchong7513 Yep, the 83 final made Wilander realize he had to play a bit more offensive and take initiative. He ttook revenge versus Noah in the following year I think.
Sur la fin de ce cinquième set, il est clair que Lendl n'a plus aucun déplacement, ni aucune accélération...Il lève mollement la balle. La force de Borg est de ne pas être entré dans son jeu et simplement d'attendre la faute. Borg pensait il que ce serait sa dernière victoire sur un majeur ??
Eh bien il aurait certainement gagné, car Wilander n'a jamais eu la même puissance que son ainé...Quant à Villas, on connait le résultat de leurs rencontres.
No..but the raquets had a little sweetspot..so hitting more flat was more standard back then..But balloning on clay was more standard to wear the oponent out and to find an opening. It was more fun to watch back then..but the tempo was way slower:)
on oublie qu'il avait commence trés tot en jouant la coupe Davis à 15 ans donc une usure mental compréhensible rajouté à son style de jeu et le fait qu'il ait presque tout gagné
@@jeffreylara3835 c'est ce qu'on a dit mais bon la finale de wimbledon de 81 ne s'est pas joué a grand chose, Borg a 4 balles de 2 manches a une pour lui (sauvées magistralement par Mcenroe) et celle de US open il est perturbé par des menaces de mort..La lassitude et l'envie d'autre chose pour le suédois est à mon sens plus vraisemblable
Il. à declare un jours qu il avais perdu sa motivation à l époque statistique et records n etais pas recherché comme maintenant si il avais su il se serait remotiver pour écrire lui aussi l histoire , c est ce qu il a déclaré
Stefan Edberg in 1991 and world Number one : "if the world number one lady would play against men she would be around the number 100th man standing..." And Steffie Graf was number one...
If the women played with wooden racquets, ropey strings, small heads, plimsolls, ditch their coaching/diet/physio teams - then a fairly top male club player could beat almost all of them with modern racquet and hitech strings and shoes. But you are clearly not a tennis player of any quality who also played back then - so you're all Dunning Kruger about it.
