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 70īs and 80īs so special.it staretd to decline in the 90īs...but, if we compare, the 90īs seem to me like glorius days compared to the megaboring tennis from 2002 onwards...
