I've always loved old school wood S&V tennis. Let there be a revolt!

in Rod Laver vs. Tony Roche 1969 Australian Open SF. Laver they look like they are actually hitting the ball pretty hard. in every really old school video they always look like they are 4 year olds hitting the ball, but here they actually look like they are hitting with some good pace/spin
