Did anyone else enjoy the clips they showed yesterday-or was it Saturday? Seeing that next to today's game makes today's players seem like accountants to me.
Although I hated some of his on-court behavior toward umpires and linespersons, nobody I ever saw hit the ball with such joy. I saw him in person many times, once on an outside court at the US Open where he was sometimes as close as 6 feet from me while the ball was in play. He very seldom took a mathematical calculation to go for a ball--it seemed irrelevant to him whether he was up 5 love, 40 love, or down by the same. Went for EVERY ball.
I've had other faves-Sampras, Roddick, someone whose name I can't recall at this moment. But for their game, Connors stands alone.
Opinions?
