I don't know about the matches in Cape Town and LA. Could you give me details?
Cape Town and LA. are 2 my errors (Cape Town is 1983 v Curren and LA 1984 v McEnroe)
THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE 30 april 1984
Dear Boss: When you read this, I know exactly what you're going to say. Oh, no, not another one of those in-depth things on the behavior patterns of John McEnroe, the world's greatest tennis player! What has Peck's Bad Boy done now? Berated some linesman again, has he, for calling a ball in when it was obviously out?
Not to worry, Boss. I could no more analyze the five John McEnroes than I could characterize the culinary preferences of Konstantin Chernenko. Actually I think the hostility John sometimes generates between himself and spectators may stem from the Rasputin faces he constantly makes when he's playing a tough match. I mean all 751 of them belong in a scabbard.
But you should see McEnroe play tennis! Pete Rose in sneakers if you will. He jumps on every ball as though he's going for Pouncer of the Week honors. He's got so many shots he has to keep half of them on microfilm.
When the put-away is there, he's on the ball like a panther. Often his serves are just a blur. And when he returns service, his opponent had better be ready to run a country mile to track it down.
What brought this subject up, Boss, is that the other night I went to the Fabulous Forum in Los Angeles to watch McEnroe joust with Jimmy Connors in a hoked-up, best-of-three-sets exhibition. You won't believe this, but 15,853 other people had the same idea.
Hey, I don't blame the promoters for cashing in on this one. It was like taking Gary Hart campaign buttons -- well, from Gary Hart. But the promoters were very honest about it, not only billing it as an exhibition, but announcing that both players had been paid an equal performance fee beforehand.
McEnroe won 7-5, 6-3 in under two hours, the fourth consecutive time he has beaten Connors.

Is it not already included in official ATP matches?
Jericho 3-1 not 4-1. It was R16. Do you have another info?
Jericho Executone Hamlet Challenge Cup (NY, USA) august, 21-25 ? :
In this case I found the info from the first page of the thread without checking.
RR : Peter Fleming W 6-1 3-6 6-4
RR : Scott Davis W 7-5 6-7 6-3
RR : ??
DF : ??
F : Ivan Lendl L 6-1 6-3
It depends on whether RR or 16draws. If 16 draws 3-1.
