Yes that was an awesome match. I wasn't sure about Mats when he wasn't on clay at that point but he proved how super he could be on a non clay surface to me in that match.

Another great match was Newcombe and Stan Smith in the 1973 David Cup. At match point with Smith serving, second serve to the ad court, Newcombe moved way over to the alley, basically telling Smith he was going to blast his forehand on Smith's second serve. Smith went for the second serve ace, missed and double faulted and lost the match.

It seemed Newcombe owned Smith in big matches. Of course Newcombe owned a lot of players in big matches. Talk about players with big match presense, Newcombe had it.

Yep. A classic. I think the last time Hewitt beat Fed too. An amazing back from the dead victory for our little Leyton. History will record his 2 slam wins but Aussie fans wont need to go to the books to remember that victory.

jean pierre, sorry for the late answer.
you can get it free, easily and "not legally" through emule, just search the name Vilas and take a look you will find two tapes, but not the entire match.
I just do that now and those files are still alive!

The five setter with Edberg and Becker, Becker and McEnroe, McEnroe and Edberg. All good tennis. And Lyelton Hewitt vs Roger Federer.
