But since 1984 there has been more "change" in the world and in tennis for that matter, than there ever has in the 34 year span since. If you can imagine how much change there will be in the next 34 years you will be doing just fantastic. 88 years will seem like a light year.
As Winston Churchill said some 75 years ago..."It's not given to us to peer into the mysteries of the future."
Most have a great deal of difficulty understanding the past or what has already happened.don_budge

I traced my family tree back to the early 1400's. It's amazing how long time stood still, more or less, from the 1400's until, say, 1850. Life for the average person changed surprisingly little over that period going by the family records I have. Much of that time was a life without medicine for a start, and technical innovations were few and far between. It's since the second world war that everything has gone berserk and forward at warp speed. One wonders where it will end and if they will come up with a get-younger tablet before my number is up.Stotty
