Ah Vilas... one of the forgotten architects of the modern “behind the baseline” game. What a great player he was! Met him by chance at the US Open back in the early 2000’s. He was a genuinely pleasant guy who passed the time with me while waiting on line for a Heineken. One of those Open memories of a lifetime!
hahaha...this was the match I loved watching and fell in love with that puma racket of Vilas...I was obsessed with that racket and had my sister get in touch with a friend of her's in germany who sent me one of those...I liked it so much, I actually got in touch with the factory in Germany and managed to get them to send me two more...loved those rackets sooooo much
je ne l'avais pas vu a l'époque alors que je me débrouillais toujours pour voir tout les matchs de yannick et franchement je m'en lasse pas quel beau service et smash...

Noah had such an interesting style... while a net player at heart, he also had this looping, heavy topspin groundstrokes, which I assume were from his clay court upbringing; I guess it's one of the main reason why, even with his great serve & volley game, he never performed that well at Wimbledon By the way, I still think his elegant and very clean service motion is one of the most beautiful I ever saw

@@alexduio7639 I just checked out Noah's profile in the ATP webpage. He won four more titles after 1986: 2 in 1987 (Basel and Lyon), 1 in 1988 (Milan) and the last one in 1990 (Sydney).

Noah could have done more in his career,his body was built for hard and grass ,he was strong,could volley solidly,however he never did any GS final,except RG
What an utterly stupid comment you make, clearly, you are one extremely ignorant individual with absolutely NO idea whatsoever about Tennis and it’s great classic players!

Authur Ashe commentary is golden
The great Arthur Ashe discovered 11 yr old Tennis phenomenon Yannick growing up in Cameroon & was responsible getting him on his way
¡¡¡¡Qué par de EXTRAORDINARIOS jugadores!!!!
It was good to hear Arthur Ashe's voice again
Great man gone too soon

That's was the Tennis I loved...
Vilas ya no era el mismo,acá contaba con 35años pero aun así daba pelea en un tenis que ya estaba cambiando.
Very entertaining. Excellent shot making and tactics!!🎾🎾🎾🎾

Yes ..right ..his serve is so smooth and perfect 🥰
I remember being at the US Open for this Game in Forrest Hills, NYC!!! Yannick LOVE!!!
This isn't the US Open.
Great upload!
By any chance do you have the last match between Vilas and Borg? Nations Cup 1980... 🙂🎾
Yannick Noah’s wife Cecilia gave birth to their second child who was born two weeks prior to this match was son and NBA player Joakim Noah!
Wonderful! Thanks 🙏
Grande Willy!
When you see the court overhead it looks like its filmed in black and white, very strange court colour. Great match.
Vilas jouait aussi bien que durant ses grandes années pendant tout le premier set contre un très bon Noah !!!!!!
Enjoyed this match. More entertaining than today's 2 shot rallies.
Noah at really good level
This was Vilas' last ATP final. He retired three years later, after losing to Claudio Pistolesi in Roland Garros '89.
and it is the last big win tournament of noah ...

atrompazos74 Yes,he later made an Australian Open semis,loosing to Lendl,winning a 18- years old Sampras in 1/8,it was his last glimpses.
He did a come-back in 1992, 40years old, playing essentially some challengers (and winning a few matches)

Vilas last ATP final. No doping as in todays modern game. 😉

Vilas 62 titles ATP !
I could say novak djokovic and federer did not have the incredible service and volley in power as yannick noah winning points
Vilas in this time would loss all, he is slower than kick below water
U have no idea of tennis
What an utterly stupid comment you make, clearly, you are one extremely ignorant individual with absolutely NO idea whatsoever about Tennis and it’s great classic players!
This is Lendle not Vilas!
Lol
Wrong. It's McEnroe.
No surely it’s Laver??
Wrong , it was Bjorn Borg's father, Rune Borg.
Which one? The black guy or the left-hander from Argentina?
