PertSnergleman's Review:
-------------------------------------------
In one of the greatest seasons in the Open era, Jimmy Connors had won 93 out of 97 matches played in 1974, lifting 15 titles and three Major crowns on the grass court to dominate like only a few players before him.
In the last US Open played on its original surface at the Forest Hills, Jimmy took down the great Aussie Ken "Muscles" Rosewall 6-1 6-0 6-1 on September 9, in what has been the most one-sided Grand Slam final ever!
This was the first out of five US Open crowns for the crowd favourite Connors and he would become the only player in history who won one Grand Slam on three different surfaces.
Despite his age, "Muscles" was still among the best players in the world and he was seeded 5th at the Forest Hills, beating John Newcombe in the semis to set Connors clash. Another interesting fact proves how consistent "Muscles" was, as he played in the US Open quarter-final on the day when Jimmy was born 22 years earlier, also winning the title here in 1956 when his rival was just four years old! It was all about Connors during the entire match, losing just 42 points overall and facing three break points, saving them all to keep his serve intact.
On the other hand, "Muscles" never found his rhythm, getting broken eight times from 12 break points Jimmy created and dropping 35 out of 54 points behind his serve, hitting only five service winners in the entire match. Also, the veteran had only eight winners from the field, compared to 20 service winners from Connors and an additional 33 from the field, which was just too much for the Aussie to handle.
It just goes to show... muscles ain't everything.
Enjoy! :)
