Cash vs Wilander : 1986 R:16 and 1987 Q.Final Wimbledon Retro Lawn Tennis

[Vince Evert]

I really was hoping and looking to find their 1986 QF won by the australian in 4 magnificent sets of tennis but it ain't there.

This '87 re-match is nearly as good as, also no-commentary ! This was of course, the year Cash won the Big W in style, only losing one set in 7 superb matches (Guy FORGET R.16).
That year Wilander was finalist at the U.S. and French Opens but he would win 1988 Australian also against Cash.




UPDATE

Just found a french-TV copy of the '86 QF (in 4 parts). Wonderful grass-court tennis this was.

Correction: That 1986 Cash vs Wilander was in fact a Round of 16 match-up, not quarterfinal as noted by the uploader and my comments. Cash was defeated in a quarterfinal to frenchman Henri Leconte, also in 4 sets. Leconte then lost to Boris in one semi-final.

thanks. Well the '87 match was the quarterfinal one. The '86 R.16, i should have remembered that I played the latter video yesterday evening (my tuesday) , wonderful throwback to serve-volley tennis and shot-making. Mats overhead backhand volley proved costly, Cash tested that wing, very wisely on the latter part of the three hour match.

Head-to-Head Cash way 5-4.
Interestingly to see they played in 1984 Wimbledon second round where Mats also took the first set before Pat came back to win in 4 (just like in 1986). https://www.atptour.com/en/players/atp-head-2-head/pat-cash-vs-mats-wilander/c023/w023
