I was a big tennis fan back in the Connors/McEnroe/Borg days. Gripping TV IMO. The game lost a bit of appeal with the racket tech and the transfer to the big serve style. Big rallies are a thing of the past unfortunately.

I do remember watching when Evonne Goolagong played. I loved her exotic look.

Agree on the rallies not being as prominent. Your best bet is watching a women's match between two defensive players or Nadal against the right opponent.

Indeed. I do enjoy watching the women’s game for that very reason. I also forgot to mention Ivan Lendl. During the 80s watching him play was great!
