Hands, I remember seeing Roscoe Tanner play Borg in Manchester and Roscoe was the biggest server of his day. Now, half the men serve harder. And they say steroids don't work. <g> However, Roscoe had a lot of mojo on his serve and most of the power hitters today hit it fairly straight.

There was a great line from Nastase at another tourney that year. Borg had been complaining all week of an upset stomach and in the finals or semis, he smashed one you couldn't even see past Ilie. Without missing a beat, Nastase said, "how is your belly today, Bjorn?"
