I have often thought that the best matches in tennis were played with wood racquets, not the super-sized, head light, and high-tech flashy named versions we have today. Why do I still periodically watch re-runs of the Borg vs McEnroe finals; because they have variety that is missing in much of the play found today. I wish Wimbledon had stopped the over-sized racquet barbarians at the gate back in the 70's. Rather than having a sport that is fighting a slow decline, we would have more epic matches than any of us could find the time to watch. I agree with the commentary by Christine Brennan of USA Today that dreary tennis is now the watchword when taped matches of old can hold more interest than whatever else is going on at Wimbledon.
I never thought I would miss Mac.
