The senior tour has been trying to get an event at Wimbledon, but they are too stuffy to allow that, they only want a major GS played at Wimbledon….it seems all the GS venues are like that tho….
His career was hampered by the Iranian Revolution, once he got out he was limited for quite a while to playing in France. I suspect had he been able to get out earlier, or other circumstances been different, he would have been a major ATP player.
I had a RSM who forced me to shave my moustache off. I saw him years later when I had a even bigger moustache. He was still a RSM and I was a Major. He saluted me and vice-versa. That was the only communication between us.

That was in Naples Seapines Nuveen Seniors Tour 1993. commentator says, Connors is 43 and Bahrami 39.
@Kent Eriksson Yeh, sad fact i know but i used to be a nike tennis clothing nerd for what agassi and courier used to wear and Bahrami has a pair of nike air resistance supreme court tennis shoes with heavy rubber at front of shoe, courier wore these in 1994/95/96 when they were released, they were more mainstream to buy in 1995 but everyone wanted agassi's nike air challenge as agassi and sampras were up and down for no.1 spot, the nike air resistance voted probably the most durable tennis trainer of all time cos heavy duty yet lite, but i put money this match is 1995 plus conners used to play with that prince racquet which is a hybrid of a modern racquet with a single beam old skool neck which came out in 95 :)
This was played in Seapines Plantation (now known as Seapines Resort) next to Harbour Town on Hilton Head Island, SC. Thanks for sharing! Fun to see again!
Rod Laver said that Bahrami was a major talent. Unfortunately, because he is Iranian, he was not able to get access to the kind of resources (coaching, tournaments) that would have been available had he been from another more free country. He's done very well playing exhibition matches. He's very entertaining and has quite an array of amazing tennis tricks.
Mansour is a complete player. So much right hand/forearm strength and control, it made him indecisive on several shots - because he had them all. Also, real players know he means business, because he's got the Pro Kennex (shiny) in 1994. For those who know, that's a player's stick for real.
I admire Mansour Bahrami and his skills very much. However, I would also like to see him in a serious match on the ATP Tour at that time. Is there a recording of it?
That damn rip stick mono stick thing... I was about 30 when they came out and playing 4x a week.... and I could actually use it but it was a challenge. Good stuff here good to see Jimmy enjoying himself on Seniors tours from time to time
It's amazing how the hand has changed, without disrespect, these guys would struggle to get into the top 1000 and would never play in a grand slam now.
Apparently you are unaware that the equipment is totally different as is the training. A number of today's pros would really struggle to use a wooden racquet, though it would be amusing to watch them try.
McInroe in his own would have been a top 100 player but he would not be able to dominate anything. His line Djokovic would while they floor with him and his term temper tantrums would be laughed at her is kicked off the course scratching his arse.. This is just the way it is
c/o 2020 *Repost 'Wimbledon', 📹 Doubles for 'Bahrami', had to trackBack for details.., Monsour, had 🤔 great talent eVen '95!?., At 'Seapines', 🇺🇸.., according to earlier 💬= now a resort ? (Switched?), Will need2 🕵️ if Jimmy (*mC2F 👀💂), has included in 📖 bio..👍🏾🖖🏻👍
his entertain skillz are much better than his tennis quality, ....but it certainly not a match fixing , this exhibition matches, it's fun winning ,don't count really, and real sport matches,cheating, gambling business, a big problem (they win more with gambling, than match prices, etc) epo, or other drugs they all take, because winning count, with any mean necessary on all levels, only fairplay is for the real few great players in sport history,.. they can effort it, but the rest it's business as usual, and the winner take it all,
Look a little more into Bahrami before making that call. He played tennis to entertain and have fun. He wanted to inspire kids to take up the sport. Many professionals who came after him refer have referred to Bahrami as a player who influenced them in their youth. One of the nicest players you could hope to meet.
Wish they still had a seniors tour where they actually played tennis and seemed to care about winning. Not this hit and giggle bullshit that they do now
Forever young Mansour !
He still plays on the senior circuit.
He was in Roland Garros this year 👍
Awesome job Mr Bahrami. We're proud of you.
I really love mansour bahrami he is unrepeatable man of tennis in iran
Thanks for this rare video.
I don't understand why Wimbledon don't have a senior championship section. Would be exciting and great fun.
I know right
Maybe they think we'd see a couple of heart attacks if they did that
@@free-can5609 they can just do best of 1. Just one set winner or something that should be fine
@@free-can5609 Bahrami is like 67 he’s getting older, Jimmy Connors is like 70 right now they both could play a bit

I had never heard of Mansour Bahrami before these senior tournaments...
Me neither. Bahrami was ranked no. 37 (highest) in July 1990. Some sources say 26...
Thanks for the info.
When was this game? Mid 90s???
His career was hampered by the Iranian Revolution, once he got out he was limited for quite a while to playing in France. I suspect had he been able to get out earlier, or other circumstances been different, he would have been a major ATP player.
are those moustaches legal?

NO !! they said Jimmy was 43. So, it's in 1995
@@chrisjones1931 Agree. It was 1995 or 1996. Connors was at least 43.
Finnally someone who has a bigger moustache than my wife...
There was a time when the old geezer wasn't an old geezer?
Bahrami is 39 here? He looks 65. Bahrami is great though, very talented and entertaining player.

@@donaldallen1771 you should have just said culture instead of country
He reminds me of Sampras
My left is ear is lovign it
Green clay...actually just the WTA tournament in Charleston is played on this surface. ..I would. like that wood surface will be back on tour
@Retro Tennis Videos -- fyi -- it's Connors, not Conners (misspelled in the title and description).
Its Connors. Jimmy CONNORS. Thank you.
Don't misspell a legend's name: It is CONNORS.

@@legoatjames5723unbeatable???? He never won. A singles title
My left ear enjoyed this video
Jimmy Connors forever champion. Resolute and never afraid to play his tenacious game against anyone including young and underdogs.
If it s in 1993...jimmy was 41 yrs old cuz he was born in 1952 in East St Louis ( actually ghost town)
I think the commentator mentioned he was 43 then.
High crime ghost town
I really like the Kennex choices: it is so appropriate to take good market shares !
"remember Bahrami is only 39 yo"....Connors was 43 here WOW
It’s CONNORS!
JIMMY CONNORS
A legend back then in my younger years!😏
Connors playing with Prince precision mono. Cool and interesting racquet
Hated it.
Sean Conners would be proud. :)
🐐 Bahrami
Who Is conners?
Bahrami.. the legend
Wow
CONNORS!
Who is that Canners ?
Bahrami is cool !
Not "Canners". Not "Conners" either, btw. "Connors" is his name, and he is one of the all-time tennis greats.
watch the Bahraini v Becker match. shotmaking is out of this world and crowd was in stitches
Jimmy Connors a great champion.
connors whit a prince??
That damn rip stick mono stick thing... I was about 30 when they came out and playing 4x a week.... and I could actually use it but it was a challenge. Good stuff here good to see Jimmy enjoying himself on Seniors tours from time to time
Agree. Difficult racquet to maneuver.
@@ST-xg3gy Right! And you had better flatten out that stroke.
Hey mustache, what’s up?
That many people showed up for this?
MB playing a Pro Kennex
Bahrami had black hair back in '95
Maybe Connors, not Conners!
CONNORS, NON CONNERS.
*Connors
The tennis version of harlem globetrotters.
Connors is playing at 70%. He could crushed several of those shots, but instead fed them back at Bahrami. It's okay though, its all for fun.
Connors
Gold dust
It's amazing how the hand has changed, without disrespect, these guys would struggle to get into the top 1000 and would never play in a grand slam now.
If they were playing now, with the same training and equipment that present players have, they'd be just as good.
Apparently you are unaware that the equipment is totally different as is the training. A number of today's pros would really struggle to use a wooden racquet, though it would be amusing to watch them try.

Bahrami, happy to be the clown of tennis 🤡
He is a clown. And I don’t mean it in the good way. He disrespects the game.
lighten up, bro.
Relax, Gertrude. It’s senior tennis. The whole point is to play decently but mainly to entertain the crowd.
I bet your way better😂

Many professionals who came after him refer have referred to Bahrami as a player who influenced them in their youth. One of the nicest players you could hope to meet.
This guy grew up playing tennis with a dustpan and a frying pan. And Iran banned tennis in the 70s and he still made it to the ATP tour.
Wish they still had a seniors tour where they actually played tennis and seemed to care about winning. Not this hit and giggle bullshit that they do now
39? He looks about 50
Conners? 😂😂😂😂
