I remember this vividly - a classic case of one point deciding a match. That set point for Lendl at 5-4 in the third and he doubled faulted and didn't win another game.
Lendl won some titles because Connors got old and Mac abused the drugs. Lendl was on top during a down time in tennis. He was one of the first of the boring Euro bots.
Connors was a beast. Hit that flat over long long rallies is incredible.

You mean in the 3rd. He didn't have set point in the 4th set.

the 1983 us open set a record for most 5 set matches in a grand slam tournament, a record that stood till this years wimbledon last month 2024.
looks like lendl finally got his 2nd wind but by then he was down 5-0 and it was already too late.
Connors was actually a decent net player

Walter Cronkitis helped lose the Vietnam War. Despite America winning on the battlefield, Cronkitis harped on the horrible losses for America.
Cutting the shoe was a mistake - that took away support. Padding was the answer.
Lendl era stanco, non si reggeva sulle gambe.
Lo ho pensato anch’Io.
Soooooooooooo before Jimbo got old Ivan couldn't beat him when it really mattered. Folks, there's a reason as to why Ivan never won Wimbledon.
