I genuinely thought 12 minutes would be too long, but the presentation and information, mixed with the lovely voice over, made this a great video. It's amazing to see how far the game has progressed. The Open Era was something I never fully grasped thoroughly until this video.
Excelente resumen que muestra como el circuito estuvo divido entre amateurs y profesionales, lo cual hace mas dificil la comparacion del GOAT, porque tambien hay que contar los torneos Pro Slam.
Good data about the actual tennis, but I got a bit sick of the class-based analysis. Tennis was from the beginning a middle-class game, excepting perhaps Gottfried, Baron von Cramm ;-), but it is certainly true that for a period, and too long a period, it got into the hands of quite a small number of millionaires, one or two per national tennis association. Jack Kramer called out this system as evil, and he was perfectly correct ... and I speak as the grand-nephew of one of those millionaires.
How is it that this channel doesn’t have 1 million. They should have. Great videos
Great tennis history lesson.
Makes you appreciate how big of an achievement it was by Rod Laver to win all the majors tournaments in 1969.
