Hermoso ver las imagenes desde abajo, si bien era un tenis mas lento, se movian mucho. Es genial ver a todos los grandes de los 70 en polvo de ladrillo.
Creo que se movian aun mas que hoy. Existia la posibilidad de irse a la red, y volear y eso requeria mucha velocidad y reflejos. Hoy son metralletas desde la base, menos variedad en general.
Hoy en día se mueven más rápido pero en menos tiempo. Antes, la pelota iba más lenta pero los puntos, y sobre todo los partidos, duraban más. Para ganarle a tu rival, tenías que arrinconarlo con inteligencia y muñeca. Hoy por hoy, todo es palazo y palazo.
Panatta didn’t need to win. He was an italian playboy. Girls, cars, money, popularity ... what more If you lose against number 1 ...you’re a national hero.
Vilas and Borg. Vilas had a thing about playing Borg. Tiriac in an interview said Borg was a problem for Willy, but he should have beaten Borg more then he did. He argued he should have won 1 in 3 matches with Borg. Vilas held his own with Connor’s and McEnroe., not with Borg. Borg said he felt he was a shade quicker then Guillermo and that made a difference. He felt he could m outlast him. Borg a supreme athlete. Vilas a muscled up and extremely fit player. Built like a tank. Borg never won the us open. Vilas never won Wimbledon. 2 icons.
Yeah, Borg was his kryptonite. Vilas was a great player but he rarely even got a set from Borg. I don't believe he did in either of their French finals.
The best player in 1974-1975-1976 was Jimmy CONNORS, who did not play at RG. It is a pity for the tennis that in those days he was not alloaed to play at RG for a political decision.
Connors préférait jouer le tournoi de Lamar Hunt (wtc). La direction de RG à refusé sa venue jusqu'en 79. Borg n'a pas eu droit au même traitement quand il n'est pas venu en 77. Connors ne savait pas jouer sur la terre battue européenne. Il n'aurait battu ni Orantes, Nastase ou Panatta à cette époque.
Vilas used a Wilson Jack Kramer Pro Staff, but because his contract expired he had an argentine company named Beliz paint over the original paint (on the shaft it said Master 74, Vilas best win up to that date). The W on the strings is actually two Vs, the logo for Vilalta Vich, the french company that manufactured the gut strings he used.
It was 1976 when Panatta won against Borg last time - Panatta was 26 yrs old and Borg 20 yrs old.....The same year -1976- Borg who had already won RG twice won his first Wimbledon ( of his 5 in row)....
Thanks for uploading
Borg and Vilas - two of the coolest tennis players from that era.
Oh! This is too good. You are the best at the videos.

Borg foi um dos melhores jogadores nas quadras de saibro. Vence-lo naquele piso era quase impossível.
@50:22 one of the greatest strokes ever, The Nastase forehand
All tennis matches should be shown predominantly from court level.
P.S. Nice to be congratulated by Ingrid Bergman.
Guillermo Vilas aka Al Pacino 😎

Petit tamis

Well, I played with Vilas Head racket during my 80’s.
I purchased it second hand.
And I think it was my best tennis.
Panatta could beat Borg..Not Vilas...

Le jeu de Panatta gênait beaucoup Borg.
