Anyone watching the 91 Conners/Krickstein match?

Mens tennis used to be so much more fun to watch than it is now. I'm enjoying it as much as I enjoy watching modern womens tennis. Sharapova lust notwithstanding.

1. Thanks for the tip

I love it when Connors goes friggin bonkers towards the end, taking the crowd along with him.

6. Connors' fit was almost worthy of

that legendary fit thrower, John McEnroe!

9. Not quite McEnroe

Conners sugar coated his tirades. I noticed he used the phrase, "my butt" instead of "my ass". He did call the judge an "abortion" a few times. :)

2. Finally, a tennis fan

I can't watch 'cause I'm at work, but enjoy!

3. I remember watching it when it happened

A true treasure. Too bad Krickstein had to end his career early due to injury.

4. Can anyone wonder why Conners never made ÒSportsman of the YearÓ?

5. I LOVE tennis

I only wish there was someone who was on as low a learning level as I so I could play more often.


Krickstein was a cutie even with his mullet!

7. Can't get enough...

I play, compete and teach and I can't get enough of the Open...got to go opening night and trying to get there again...

That was a classic match, amazing how dramatic this can all be...

Bet W sucks at tennis...

10. I am so bad at it

but took lessons with a group of my women friends who were no better than I. We had a blast but I had to give it up. LOVE it, I live for the Slams. I did try to compete once, got clobbered. I don't think more than one of my serves actually went in. It was so funny.

8. Agree. I watched this same match originally years ago

and I was thinking how really exciting tennis was then.

I was never a Jimmy Connors fan, but I saw him at Wimbledon and I must say he was the most exciting player I had ever seen on the court. In those days...I saw them all - Borg, McEnroe etc.
