Great interview.......funny how now, everyone loves McEnroe, whereas Connors is simply respected.

Also weird (to a younger guy like me) that a tennis tournament was sponsored by a cigarette company (Benson & Hedges).

^Virginia Slims used to sponsor the WTA tour.
And the official name of the Australian Open for a while was the "Marlboro Australian Open'
