I have played with a T2000, takes a ‘lot’ of getting used to . Testament to Jimmy Connor’s’ skill and tenancy 👋. I’ve also tried the Head Vilas racquet , incredibly heavy and wieldy, again it shows Vilas’ talent ! 2 tennis icons .🎾🎾
Thanks for keeping the commercials in the videos. I can remember the Lipton (Barbara Eden) and Miller Light (Rudolph, Heinsohn) ones. Brings back great memories. I hope you can find more videos from the '70s. Thanks.
This was the last year that Nastase was a true threat. Borg handled him. Connors crushed Vilas in the first semi. Great tournament overall. Especially the final. Interesting strategy by Ilie when down 2-3 to Borg in the second set. It worked.
Jack Kramer announcing at the 76 Wimbledon telecast said that if borg won today( Wimbledon 76 final) that he probably would not lose to nastase again.he was right
US Open should have remained clay or grass... but of course, their players would not have been as successful and thus I can see them eventually settled for hard court. The landscape in terms of winners would have been very different.

Ashe is a delight. Wonderful insights from a legend
Nastase played a really good match against Borg. Very nice to watch.

This was when tennis was must see TV.
It's fascinating to watch the commercials of the times
Love watching nastase's style of cat and mouse tennis.
Yikes. My hero Borg crossing over into Nasty's court to contest a call the 43:15 mark. Amazing.
This video speaks to the work ethic of Guillermo Vilas that he was able to come back one year later, re-build his game, and defeat Jimmy Connors.
No it doesn’t, this speaks of Connors totally dominating Vilas in 3 sets , just like he caned Borg in the final .
Great point. It most assuredly was
Anyone notice Vilas foot faulted with his left foot every serve? Did not matter as Conner stomped a mudhole in him and walked it dry
Connors etait clairement au dessus de tous.
Nastase jouait encore très bien.
fue el último gran año de NASTASE, terminó 3ro. detrás de Connors y Borg.
Nastase playing style in this match couldn’t hurt borg with any shots
This was basically a practice match for borg
Jack Kramer announcing at the 76 Wimbledon telecast said that if borg won today( Wimbledon 76 final) that he probably would not lose to nastase again.he was right
Hello...is there a part 1?
Just found it myself th-cam.com/video/w98VtBHd-uo/w-d-xo.html
I wonder if Ashe's prediction for Borg in the final was based on his genuine dislike for Connors ?
Yeah Ashe was a complete Tool alright .
@LarryBishop69
As if you would know Porky. LOL
What racquet is Vilas playing with here?
It’s the Head Vilas, a wood racquet with a laminated coating. I played with it and still have two.
US Open should have remained clay or grass... but of course, their players would not have been as successful and thus I can see them eventually settled for hard court. The landscape in terms of winners would have been very different.
Ashe being insufferably pedantic…
You not having the IQ to comprehend. 😀
This is before Vilas built his body up
Not a weight lifting competition, didn’t do him any good , he never won Wimbledon and is Totally forgotten now .
@LarryBishop69
No, the only ones that are easily forgotten are internet incel losers in life like you. 😀
