BTW, a classic moment was when Connors and Lendl exchanged words during their 1984 Wimbledon semi...great show from Connors, and acid humour from Ivan, too.Unpossible to find it nowadays.

Connors offered Lendl a fight at one changover, saying "come on big boy let's do it now"?! Lendl replied by saying to the umpire "are you going to let him talk to me like that"?! |

Lendl vs. Leconte Becker vs. Gilbert Wheaton vs. Gilbert Solomon vs. Dibbs Evert vs. Richey Sabatini vs. MJ Fernandez Austin vs. Jaeger Navratilova vs. Zvereva |

It is typical Connors far west style and Lendl extremely acid sense of humour.
