    Great article. These type of personalities sadly no longer exist.

        A nice article, and terrific book which I would highly recommend.

        "Connors was very coachable," Pancho said simply. How important is that? Some good juniors are uncoachable. I don't think this goes unrecognised sometimes. Even some coaches don't recognise that some of the kids they teach are actually uncoachable.

        Jimmy was a great player, but he peaked in 1974 and never actually got any better.

          In 1974, Connors was beating everyone so badly; Segura had him finishing at the net as much as possible. I thought he just got bored and started staying back more so he could have some more rallies. Towards the later years of his career, he was more of a baseliner whereas early in his career he had gotten to the net at every opportunity.

            Fascinating. Francisco had the eye for talent. He also had said some similar things about Aaron Krickstein at a very young age. That one didn't quite materialize as the old master envisioned but Aaron had a wonderful career. I wonder what may have happened if Aaron had taken a similar route instead of the trek to Bradenton, Florida to what's his name's academy. The Los Angeles Tennis Club must have been a really happening place.
