If you were watching pro tennis in the 80's, you know it doesn't get any better than seeing McEnroe, Lendl, Connors, and Pat Cash all play in one evening. The show started out by playing highlights of all the players in his prime, and then made introductions for the first match. This is 2014 though, , and Pat Cash was the youngest at 47, Lendl and McEnroe are mid 50s, and Connors is about 61. First impressions were how great of shape they were all in. Lendl looked way bigger than I expected. He looked like he could play linebacker. Pat Cash was totally ripped with muscles everywhere. McEnroe was smaller than I expected, but he was lean and in good shape. Connors, wearing slacks instead of shorts, looked good for 61 and 3 hip replacements. (McEnroe later said he thought he was playing Don Budge. )
Overall, it was very entertaining. Lendl cut up with a few hecklers, and even invited one to come show him how it's done (the guy declined.) Pat Cash was fun. He brought a little kid out of the stands to play a point with Lendl, and the kid was good. Later, after a woman yelled, "Take your shirt off!" He did. At the end of the match, he was asked about it, and he said, "Some lady asked me to take my shirt off...and then she said, "Put it back on!" Joking, he said, "What kind of southern hospitality is that?"
McEnroe clowned around a little too. After hitting a shot between his legs, he said, "I have 6 kids already, and I don't need anymore."
To sum it up, if you're a tennis fan and haven't seen these guys play live before, I highly recommend you go see them. It was a great time, and brought back lots of good memories of all four champions.
