Justine Henin versus Yannick Noah thoughts
Tennis4you.com
off was going on. But does anyone think that this match speaks
volumes about what would happen if Mac played Serena? Correct me if I
am wrong (and I may be) but Noah's time was 20+ years ago, and Justine
is #1 now. Noah is not Jimmy Connors or Mac Enroe, still a solid
player though.
Slam me here if you will, but I gotta believe that if Serena or Venus
squared off with MacEnroe, Mac would probably come away an easy
winner.

Not to mention he still beat the world no #2.

e.g., what's the point of posting that i think henin will win her first
round AO match against some #150 qualifier?

Want to qualify that? Even *I* have beaten men. Not very *good* men,
certainly...

I thought it was obvious that i was referring to these matchups between pros
(connors/mn, court/riggs, etc.).

Yeah, BJK was so much better than Court that year...........or did Bobby
deteriorate badly in the few months between the two matches?
Darkfalz
Um, that's who he was talking about dickhead.
Right after he thrasedh world no #2 Margaret Court.

Riggs was 55 in 1973, fuckwit.
Not in his 60s in my book ....
You're a slow-burner, yes?

I hope he did, because that is the worst quality tennis I have ever
seen televised. Has anyone who has seen that match been at all
impressed with the level of play? The absolute mediocrity of it
really makes me wonder if Riggs threw it. He couldn't have been that
nearly that bad and beat court so easily, could he? And BJK didn't
look too great either. Dink....dink...dink

More likely that Court, as has often been said, was a mental flake in her
match against him and let him psych her out. Which he was an expert at.

******************
didn't people say Riggs was woefully underprepared for the BJK match? Too
much partying.
And yea, MSC totally lost it for her match, though she claimed later she
didn't expect Riggs shots to be as *weak* as they were,,,,,must have upset
her timing....;O)

Yes, Mac would still cut it in men's doubles today, so should beat
sistas....

Because it's wasting bandwidth to state the obvious?
eg 'Sampras is probably the best grasscourter of 90's' is a waste of
bandwidth....
Whisper
What, in tennis.....?
