Just because he's number1, or was number1. gee, do you think Einstein?? No shYt Sherlock. He...

Sure, I can do that. Right now I'm getting stats on some Borg matches and I'm going to concentrate on that; I do too much when I split my attention over two big topics. But when that's done I'd like to say more about the Aggressive Margins, and...

Go start a thread to explain the OBVIOUS. Sorry, with all due respect to Agassi, I just like Pete's FH a little better. Agassi was a pounder, Pete had an ability to end the point with ONE FH shot.

About the lights at the USO - Borg was not the only player to complain about them, Martina & others did as well. Around the mid 80s, the USO said they increased the strength of the lights by 30-40 percent on Armstrong stadium, that should show that Borg's problems weren't just mental, he had a legimate complaint, the USO did have poor lights in the 70s.
