Borg, Connors & Mcenroe and the supporting cast of Ashe, Nastase, Tanner, Gerulaitis, Lewis, Mayer bros, Amrtraji, Rosewall, Vilas, Pannata etc etc.
They all seemed like Top Trump heroes with their distinctive personality's, game's, style's, attire, hairstyles, racquets and fans.
Was it that much better back in the day or is it just a 44 year old man looking back on fond times?
Your perspective's will be read with interest........

Variety, class, freshness, that is what made the 70´s and 80´s so special.it staretd to decline in the 90´s...but, if we compare, the 90´s seem to me like glorius days compared to the megaboring tennis from 2002 onwards...
