Wilander is much better than he describes himself . Such a humble down to earth champion . So much credit to the guy . And while not having great weapons , he managed the entire court, very intelligent adaptable , he could execute all the shots
Dude won seven slams and was ranked #1 for a bit. I’d say that’s pretty good, being the best tennis player on planet earth for any length of time.
@@JK-vc7ie
Lets count that 3 pf then were against Ivan Lendl
@@forrest76-m8vand he also beat Lendl in the 4th round on his way to the 1982 French Open title. Until the advent of Federer / Nadal / Djokovic, Lendl and Wilander had met in more grand slam finals than any other two players.
Wilander is easily one of the most intelligent players tennis has ever seen, and very clutch as well.
This edition brought the elite players back Down Under. Borg never went there and McEnroe also didn’t have a lot of appetite earlier. Thanks for the upload, great quality.
Borg never played the AO?
@@keithjacobson1640 No, he did once, in 74, only to the third round.
@@keithjacobson1640for many years, the Australian open really was the very poor relation of the grand slams. It just wasn't considered an important tournament. If you look at some of the winners and finalists in the 70s and into the early 80s, there are a lot of names you won't recognise. A lot of the top players skipped it.
Yes! This was the first yaar of top top players. Top 3 players in the world Wilander Lendl and McEnroe all played. After this almost everyone played and when it moved back to January everyone played.
It’s awesome, but so far away.
please, could you upload the 1983 semi-finals between Wilander and John McEnroe and 1985 Final between Edberg and Wilander?
Wilander just 19 here and in his third grand slam final, and second of 1983.
What happened was insane. First Borg, then Wilander AND Edberg AND Järryd AND Nyström AND Pernfors AND Carlsson. It "should not" have happened and it "should not" have continued into the late 1990s, it should be like nowadays (Swedish top players are complete abscent within the worlds top 300). Imagine some time in 1986 when the worlds top 10 to 40% was made up by Swedish players. After all, this was not the USA with 280 M people, it was Sweden with 8 M people.
@@Retsler54 Henrik Sundstrom was also another top 10 player in the mid-80's.
On the womens side the only swede i recall in that period was Catarina Lindquist
6-1 6-4 6-4 is a tremendous score to win one of the fastest Slam final.
He got Johnny Mac in the semi in four sets, 3 sets on Kriek (who won twice the years before in AO), McNamee and Roscoe Tanner...
Also defeated the Mac/Fleming combo partnering with Nystrom. Not bad on grass 😄
Before Federer / Nadal / Djokovic came along, these two held the record for most grand slam finals against each other, with 5 in total. 1 at the Australian, 2 at the French and 2 at the US Open.
His great 1988 notwithstanding, I think beating Macenroe on grass in the semis and Lendl in the finals was his best. And at 19!
any chance of uploading either of these two matches from earlier in the tornament?
Wilander vs McEnroe (Semifinal)
Lendl vs Cash (4th round)
Lendl was really over-matched here by Wilander's sparkling all court game. It wouldn't be the last time Wilander's superior net play helped him prevail over Lendl in a GS final.
Australian Open 1983: Mats Wilander beats Ivan Lendl☝️🙄 in a historic final
Tennis - 19-year-old Swede became the youngest winner since Rosewall in 1953 😮
i only just now realized that Wilander actually won a Slam on grass courts. Makes me wonder why he did'nt have more success at Wimbledon
Two actually.
Because AO were virtually boycotted by elite players at that time. So AO was a cheap Slam tournament.
@@ostihpem Yes, here are examples of second arena players he beat: Lendl, Mcenroe(83) , Edberg, Curren(84) on grass those years.. Wilander actually played very good in AO from 83-91. He, like Borg, never had problem with heat and he took the ball earlier and approaching the net quite alot while playing there which made his style quite different from clay.
well well said!@@SuperHammaren
The grass courts at the Australian Open were quite different to the ones at Wimbledon back then. They were quite a bit slower. Martina Navratilova described them as being more like low bouncing hard courts. They were also quite odd in that they were built on a slope to assist with drainage, which meant that you were hitting the ball up hill. It was commented on a lot at the time that it seemed to disturb a lot of the big servers, who often couldn't seem to adjust to actually having to serve up a slope. It maybe explains why both Boris Becker and John McEnroe never did especially well at Kooyong.
Could you please upload the Lendl v Mayotte 1983 semifinal of this tournament.
Two masters
I want this tennis back. I am not a fan of modern tennis since some 25 years.
I think back then the Aus Open were not considerd that important
Would some "expert" care to explain why Mats had so much success playing on grass in Australia, and never got past the quarters at Wimbledon? I know the concurrence was less qualified at the AO at the time, but he still had to beat Mac, Lendl, Edberg and Curren en route to his 1983 and 1984 titles
Good point. It's a mystery to me too. He was defeated about 3 times at Wimbledon in the 80's by Pat Cash, otherwise he would have made the semis. Cash was simply better on grass and was a natural serve - and - volleyer.
The grass is different nothing comparable to Europe is dryer and the Ball bounce much higher and is not as fast
He ran into his arch enemy, Mercir, in the '88 Wimbledon QF. Mercir really had his number. Against any other player, he likely would have progressed to at least the SF.
@@VastKrutEmpire so true. Mecir the big cat almost beat Edberg in the semi.
The grass at Kooyong was very different to the grass at Wimbledon. Quite a bit slower - Martina Navratilova described it as playing like a "low bouncing hard court". The courts at Kooyong were also slightly odd in that they were built on a slope to assist with drainage and it actually meant you were hitting the ball up hill slightly. There was all kinds of talk at the time about how this tended to wreck the serving of many of the bigger servers. They couldn't seem to adjust. It may go some way to explain why Boris Becker and John McEnroe never did especially well at Kooyong.
Was Ivan the first base line player,I remember when Pete Sampras beat Ivan
Ivan lendal i remember Pete Sampras first win against Ivan it would of been like a win like someone beating Roger Federer today 👍🏽✌🏽👌🏽
Weird to see 2 well-known baseliners playing in grass final and played S/V
А какая стоимость жилья ?
Wasn’t this the French Open final;)
Letsgo
Boy, look at all of those cigarette ads plastered all over the place. Shameful
2023: This is a practice
2023: I play better than this
@@pdiserisand BigFoot lives .
@@pdiserisplease upload a video of you playing and give us all a laugh.
You don’t understand much of tennis. Look at the rally at 8:30
Strange the way Wilander lost his hunger and motivation after 1989/1990 ? His results plummeted after his father died of cancer. Had this not happened he probably would have gone on to win several more majors including Wimbledon.
Not strange but healthy. Consider the intensity of effort to perform at the very top. Life is short. He did his thing for a long time.
Not unusual in that era. So many of the top players back then won their final grand slam around 24 -26. Wilander, McEnroe, Borg, Edberg. Wilander, like Borg, had started very young too.
I believe he lost his interest after he won 3 of 4 slams in ´88.
I wonder why he never won Wimbledon
Marlboro?! 😱😱🤣🤣
Yes, who does not like tasty and healthy Marlboro cigarettes as a main sponsor for a big sporting event?! I think in 1985 the main sponsor changed to Ford until the 2000s and then KIA.
@@MultiStar83 just so hard to believe looking back nowadays.
That's what i noticed right away😂
I gather cigarettes were still insanely popular around this time, before people took notice of how unhealthy they were. There were still flights you could smoke on in the 80s and even the WTA had the Virginia Slims sponsorship I believe.
@2ndservace sadly? perhaps you hope opioids pick up the slack
Просто я знаю что тут на кого нарвешься. Что и в РФ есть Мудаки что в Казахстане. Дело не в странах, а в людях
=
a cancer causing company gave them money for advertising 🙃
The women's tour was sponsored by Virginia Slims for years too
I think a current world number 400 would destroy either of them easily
Definitely not..even someone lower than 30 wouldn't be able to do escapially with these rackets
@@viratkohli804what? Even semi pros would destroy them nowadays
I have played with this adidas and Rossignol rackets, It was impossible to control, you need to play by touch like Mc Enroe. Now rackets are easier to control, and you can Keep the ball longer in the racket and generate more spin. I am 48, and i play better now comparing when i was 15-16.😂
Not if they were using a 1983 era racket.
Look at Ivan Lendl backhands at 20:23. Who would be able to produce so much easy power with that racket. Also remember that Lendl dominated Agassi as much as Federer.
