The Junkyard Court: A Change Of Socks
The ball never goes out.
The Idaho Swedish legend
They get scattered about.
Missing the day to day.
The hard court opens it up.
Experience is the key.
It's all explainable.
I.Q. usually takes longer.
Knowledge of how to win.
Tactics separate.
Master of all four surfaces.
Unpredicatability.
But then he undercooked it.
The important points are important.
The 3rd set starts.
Back to 1982.
To the French.
This is not the Juniors.
Pack into the Fiat.
Thieves made off with the Walkman.
The older folks set the tone.
Connors showed him how to be a man.
And won the practice match.
Then he started not missing.
No power, run forever.
Macaroni is all there was.
The tired choking began in the final.
A change of socks told the story.
Couldn't even drive.
No feedback, just more interviews.
Six and a half hours for the Davis Cup.
17-15 in the third.
McEnroe, the animal.
Seven slams in six years.
Burned up near the sun.
Like the Eagles.
Music and golf and matrimony.
It's the heart, not the brain.
No regrets, only mistakes.
Scramble it up.
Roland Garros.
Melbourne.
Best fighter.
Machine.
Connesiur of life.
The underrated Big Cat.
King of the Court.
Kill the warm ups.
Mix up the surfaces.
Wilander on wheels.
