ATP Heritage Celebrations

[britbox]

ATP World Number 1's from past and present eras.... Good viewing.

Nastase, Wilander, Edberg, Lendl, Newcombe, Borg, McEnroe, Connors, Courier, Rios, Moya, Kafelnikov, Hewitt, Kuerten, Ferrero, Roddick, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic all under the same roof.

That's a while ago, isn't it? I think only Pete and Andre were missing. Good vid!

Rios looks a bit dodgy going up there, doesn't he? "Ah don' need no stinkin' majors!"

Kafelnikov is huge. Guy needs to hit the seniors tour, and quick!

Look at all the eighties stars mooching the line when Federer, Nadal and Djoker go by. I'm good at lip-reading.

Federer takes the stage, and Mac hisses "20 grand a match, Rog!"

Connors elbows Mac and grunts, "I'll do it for fifteen!"

Edberg: "I'll do it for nothing, for sure, and I'll buy you a bottle of water, too!"

Muster, Rafter and Safin too.

 

[Kieran]

Ah yes, they missed it too. Pity they all couldn't make it. Next one is the 50 year celebrations, when Rafa and Roger will be the fat ones up on stage - and Kafelnikov will need a bench instead of a chair! :wow:

Borg was wasted...there is no way he was sober there.

You reckon? Is it because he wasn't icy cool? ;snigger

I have to say, I like Nastase's warmth towards all the players coming up, and they reciprocated. You can see how popular some guys were, even among their peers and fellow greats...

Yeah, I don't buy that. What fun to seem them all brought out. I'll watch the rest later, but really fun video, BB, thanks for posting it!

Really nice event, although there did seem to be little point in actually asking specific questions, as most people went free-form.
