PertSnergleman's Review:
-------------------------------------------
It was dramatic. It was unforgettable. It was as exciting as it was exhausting.
It was a long, long day of tennis.
Too long, really, especially for those of us who were there.
Vendors ran out of food. Spectators ran out of stamina. The usually raucous Open crowd ran out of energy, maybe even interest.
As the day wore on, the big-fight buzz that filled the arena in the afternoon had noticeably waned by nightfall. And as the clock moved past 9 p.m., the scene was almost eerie.
There were McEnroe and Connors, the two biggest names in the game, playing an Open semifinal in prime time on a perfect Saturday night in early September ... in a half-empty stadium.
Not that it affected John McEnroe or Jimmy Connors...
Enjoy! ;)
