Watched an Arthur Ashe tournament win in '75, on the utubes, that had Borg, and Laver. Great chance to see backboard v. artist. Finesse at its best.
Sent copy to my son, played D1 around '10.
He met Laver recently in SoCal. He told me, so that's how you played back then.
Wonder, how looking at the olders, is now?
