Yes. And indeed, he invented it, in the late 60's.

The shot was executed for the first time in 1974 at the courts of the Club Obras Sanitarias of Buenos Aires in an exhibition match against the French player Wanaro N'Godrella. In a official match, the shot was executed by Vilas for the first time in 1975 in the Indianapolis tournament on clay, against the Spanish Manuel Orantes. I don´t remember if I heard some time that he made it in a previous game, but anyway, it's true; and you can see a text of his book "Quién soy y como juego"(1976) in which he describes how he discovered that shot:

I will try to translate it to english, It´s interesting to make a thread!

Thanks for the link. Over here (I don't know if in all the Spanish speaking world) it's called "la gran Willie".

^I love that boat propeller trophy. Is the tournament sponsered by a marine parts manufacturer/retailer? Nice to see that Andy M isn't the only player on tour with an ugly, patchy beard. :lol:

That's a great picture Sid_Vicious! I had a chance to visit London about a month ago and had such a good time walking by that exact spot, along the River Thames, seeing the Houses of Parliament and more. Yet, the highlight was going on a tour of the AELTC. It was a dream. Now, I need to be there once to actually watch the tournament live.

[borg number one]

[cluckcluck]

sweet sweater connors has on

 

[Sid_Vicious]

The media exaggerated the extent of Andre and Pete's friendship just like Fedal's.

 

[cluckcluck]

Bernakis:

Malisse:

And my personal favorite picture, Mahut backhand return:

 

[borg number one]

Very nice cluckcluck. I really like that soft blue lighting in the picture with Mahut's backhand. Well done. You must have had a blast watching the tournament and taking "cool pictures of pros"!

paulorenzo, that Connors warm up is sweet. Here's another picture of Connors and Borg, prior to that Wimbledon final. The red Fila jacket of Borg's is iconic.
