champions tour tournament in Chengdu

First post for me.
I live in Chengdu and got to work at the recent Champions Tour event featuring Borg, Mac, Cash, Enqvist, Brug, Chang, Kafelnikov and Goran.
Some great matches the best was Mac pushing Goran to the limit...the worst (least competitive) was Borg beating Mac in straight sets....I suppose they can be forgiven.
Enqvist at 35 is a class above the rest and he was never pushed.
Cash's low forehand volleys were unbelievable....you just don't see anyone who can hit clean winners from their toes these days

I agree about the low volleys. Cash was a great volleyer. (Probably Tier-1)

Borg beat Mac in straight sets? Wow! (Maybe BB has stepped it up a notch. Last year it looked like he was just going through the motions.)
