Amritraj decides: "By swapping rackets, the legends of the 70s-80s would beat the Big 3"
Former player Vijay Amritraj gave an interview this week to the website Clay, in which he reflects on his career, his relationship with the champions of the time (Borg, Connors, McEnroe) but also the recent changes made by the ATP regarding the calendar.
Discussing the topic of generations, Amritraj amused himself by imagining a showdown between the Big 3 and the trio Borg–McEnroe–Connors.
"The legends of the 70s-80s would win"
"You can never compare generations. Because any champion from a past era would have been a champion in the current era. But just for fun, it would be interesting to see McEnroe play against Nadal, with Nadal using McEnroe's racket and McEnroe using Nadal's.
If they swapped rackets, McEnroe would win. The same goes for Borg against Federer, or Connors facing Djokovic. The legends of the 70s-80s would win this duel 3-0. By swapping rackets!"
