|
lets at least get the ball rolling anyway. his 11 slams came |
|
against these great players: |
|
[i]VILAS (Twice) |
|
CONNORS (Twice) |
|
MCENROE |
|
LENDL |
|
ORANTES |
|
GERULAITUS |
|
NASTASE |
|
TANNER |
|
PECCI[/I] |
|
this is quite huge. every one of them is a slam winner except |
|
for Gerulaitus and Pecci. |
|
Johnny Mac was a multi slam winner. Connors was a multi slam |
|
winner. |
|
Lendl and Vilas were also multi slam winners. |
|
so this was no easy competition. We all know how tough Nastase |
|
was in his day. he was a world #1 also. and he too was a multi |
|
slam winner. he won the French open and the u.s. open. he lost a |
|
heartbreaker to stan smith at Wimbledon in 1972. that match went |
|
the full distance. |
|
of course he would lose to Borg at Wimbledon in 1976 in straight |
|
sets. the third set was a bit close. |
|
at any rate we will talk more about these victories and exactly |
|
where and how they happened. |
|
**he made a total of 16 appearances in slam finals and he took |
|
home 11 titles. and he did it against the toughest competition |
|
possible at the time. |
