I know that tennis greats of all time, have been shadowed by Roger Federer and perhaps Djokovic and Nadal on clay, and Pete Sampras further back.
But eighties was great...John McInroe, Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, Stephan Ekberg, and Bjorn Borg.
Never forget the first showdown between McInroe and Borg and Mc Inroe and Lendl and Becker (17 years old) and Kevin Curren at Wimbleton.
