Don't forget one of the best women's matches in history, the '85 Virginia Slims final, only Martina at her peak could have defeated Hana that day. We all know I love Mac's game (Boston, 2010) the most of any modern era player but of course it can't compare to the grace of Hana's game. Mac's beauty was the imagination, hand-eye and grit he brought to the game. And he was one fast mo-fo to boot. Oh sure you could say Roger has the prettiest game, but Hana had that same game what, 20+ years prior. Look at the racquet head up on the backswing. And as Ginger Rogers noted, she has a couple of other nice attributes :)
Related: The Feel of Wood, Atlantic, 1995. I don't totally agree with the writer, I love the era of the first and second-gen graphite overall, but for that feel on sweet spot I'll never forget the Old Days!
PS: The Wilson Jack Kramer cost $37.95 IIRC. It took lots of snow-shoveling to get two of those.
