$75,000 Mutual Benefit Life Open - Reel 2

Come. I can always write. There are two big markets that. One is in trouble. Something. To go to John. One two big first serves from Love 30. Bring it back to 30 all. Figures. Number four. What. Is. Something that. I'm not going to share with you. Three in the world. Really.

Very seldom you see an outright winner. Struck me in the back. I guess the backhand that I remember. The best you could do that was done but. Don't have the ability to. Nail the ball deep in the court with such a face and so close one such step that he had a great many winners even on clay. Would be. Great. Looking. Back over my side and I can just tip the ball cross-court.

Man. I. Can always serve poorly a tough serve that he had early on from 12:30 to get 30 or 40 30 cents. I mean he has served very poorly. Missed the first serve and the second serves of them landing short allowing Lloyd to take advantage of it. I always thought that Lloyd's favorite shot was the cross courts backhand sweep. He's learning a new one. On that dead run down the line. A. Repeat of that. Snapped. Within an

inch on the sideline. Boyd's advantage breakpoint. Delicate for. Use. Of course the shot that set that up with his terrific left handed serve way wind to Lloyd's backhand. That. The ball up. Don't

do. It that's a lot. Just like about straight out of the ground and then stroked it away. I think it's a little easier for McEnroe too because he's a left hand. Or. A son is to his right. Advantage Mike. Brilliant. Kids. Thing they me so well on some point on Atlanta. Where the score six games to 5 McEnroe's advantage. We'll pause now for station identification. This program is made possible by a grant from the auto leasing store of Plainfield New Jersey. This is PBS the public broadcasting service.

So we'll give it a little longer. It's been running longer anyway. Yeah. That's. Something I don't care what. Like. One. Good. Time.

We're back live. With the $75000 mutual benefit life open final. Between John McEnroe. The third ranking player in the world. Against John Lloyd. The number one ranked player from Great Britain. But ranked only 160 in the world. Advance to the final. The result of a. Fabulous upset. And. The fourth ranking player. In the world beat his girl just yesterday in the semifinal. 6 5 back and really. Rock n roll was also in the. Finals of the doubles with his partner Peter Fleming. They are the number one ranked doubles team in the world. That was a fast mover and made to the top in doubles and I think that. They should be called on it because doubles is such a different game to move to the top in doubles.

There's not an easy task. I I ask you later Billie how the player feels about playing both singles and doubles you did it. Very few have been able to do it. McEnroe is actually the only player ranked in the top five of both singles. So that's your camera a little bit out of the court and bring it in please. Thank you. You just heard that player. Ted read. Admonishing a still camera but certainly not our. Television Group. Just missed the ace down the center line. Oh he's he set the ball. Rock and roll played the perfect defensive shot to get back in the rally. Oh. No. I.

Was looking at Lloyd. What's going on here. You're not supposed to do this. Jeanne what time you go down the line next time cross-court. And. Two. Points in the tie break. Well and just. For the.

I don't. So I. Think what he is trying to make John run a little. Set himself up for the tiebreak is that it could move him about dropshot long now play 12. tiebreaker in Mr. McEnroe sort to the first point. We were playing the. 12 point tiebreaker which is with apologies to James Van Allen. The originator of all tiebreaks. This is not sudden death. This is what Van Allen the originator of the vast system calls lingering death. First player to win seven points will win the set 7:6 but. Player must win by two points.

1. 0. Lloyd. Lloyd. Will serve. Two points. 1 0. Lloyd I'm impressed. So is McEnroe. Great flaw. It's out. In. The tiebreak. To zero. Zero on the three. Lloyd Boyd leaves in the tiebreak.

3 0. First player to get to seven points. Wins the 6. Out. Say. Lloyd is playing confidence here. And as we talked about earlier his confidence is feeding on itself. He was his first set press but his ability. For. One for one long is the only tough part of the tiebreak half the series. You know Billy is John Lloyd will serve one point and court. And then he will have to change sides. To serve the second point.

Very tough on concentration. Better when you're ahead five. Players of course are not allowed to towel off like have a ring this change over this is just strictly to equalize. That. Means if there is any. Ninety. Nine percent of all. Tiebreaks in America are the five out of nine only the pros play the twelve point. Seven point. Five points. In a row. Suggested Christie was hiding behind a tree watching him she just the same place today. Which

trait. Well they're staying right next door in the neighbor's house. And. They can see the entire match from. It. Is first said. 7. 6. This would be a very popular win. For fans. He's made a big hit. Chris Lloyd and John has been. Part of the scene here all week. Game here is that seven point eight seven game. Like Law. Jane I think. That. Lawyer. In winning the first set did exactly what he said he was going to do and that was. The only way he thought he could do the job was to attack and. Win the points. And certainly he did that in theory his attack to not do the same thing not serve and volley over and over again

because I think McEnroe certainly would have been able to chip away at that sort of tactic but he's done a little of everything. We talked about earlier his. Serve and volley on his first serve serve and volley on a second serve but not in a row no pattern no recognizable pattern for McEnroe to get used to. After being a little shaky on the forehand side with that open stance. He. Missed very few. Later on in the set. In the first set McEnroe had 70 percent of his first serves in and Lloyd 60 percent 10 percent less. But. Lloyd won the set. We'll talk to both players afterwards but I think what's really apparent here is. John Lloyd does have. An attack plan. He has a plan and he's going after it. Whether he makes an error as you pointed out earlier a few on his forehand open stance early on or whether he hit the winner he kept to his plan. McEnroe seems singularly without a plan.

I think. McEnroe thought that it would not be as long as he went out there and take care of itself. Would take care of itself better to have but it hasn't happened. McEnroe has thrown some very good things groundstrokes. At. Lloyd. But Lloyd has come up with answers. In the first set. McEnroe had six ice says Lloyd. None. Neither one of the players had. A double fault. I come in 0 7. There's four. So. None of that matters. When you really look at it because the score on the scoreboard is Loide seven. McEnroe's six. So we're about to start the second set here. With. Lloyd serving. Thank you. We'll. See what happens. Talk about the pressure in that tiebreak. Both players hit all or first serves in. Lloyd to serve.

He's a set up. Thirteen thousand. Dollars for the winner. Sixty five hundred dollars to the runner up. But more important to John Lloyd. There's the matter of confidence. He hasn't been in a final. Since 1977 the Australian Open which he lost to Carolina. Took a measure of revenge yesterday that would beat us winning. And now he is trying to win his first major Grand Prix title. Clean down. Until his first. Lady fanning herself and McEnroe and John Second stop distracting a. Little chit chat.

Conversation from Ted read the umpire. All. Day long. Lloyd when is the first game of the second set. That

first set took just over an hour. Sure. McEnroe. Now says John Lloyd serving. This. Game. Great extended wind up. The hitch that Billy talked about earlier. Here is John doing a little change of shirt. 90 degrees on center court. Very little breeze. None. That's. Unusual in your day. Style where the player would change shirts on court Billy never happen. There's that winning point. McEnroe his head bent a little bit to spare.

The. First player that I recall changing shirts going about was Crawford Henry and I was in and out of all places. Shocking many many years ago. I think I remember that he came Crawford who's the coach of Tulane and as a former player of Tulane and he came out to the press corps to Southampton with a stack of T-shirts. He's now the coach. And. That first said Floyd at 16. Lloyd talking about his race car carry a. Large. Thank you. For.

Being. 30. That's the first drop shot that McEnroe has hit with a purpose. He is trying deafly the tar Loide out. For. This. But it's still the

winter for he didn't. Even. Getting. The. First 20. Games are all. One all second set. Lloyd has the first 7:6. He won the tiebreak. 7. 1. I. Love being

tougher percentage shot swinging forehand volley. Probably didn't have much of an option. Pechanga had a. Pretty decent return. On. 30. 50. Tends to act like. Lloyd has

maintain good depth on the shots. A deeper approach the baseline. Challenge or return very short easy for a lawyer to comment on. Ball. Close. Case.

Mark. Their. Lawyer. To one second step game Floyd is upset. There's a slow mo of the game point. On his forehand. Both players using the phone to gain what it's like inside and on the line. What would you do Jane if you were going wrong. Well I think that he has to have an answer to. Lloyd's attack which is perhaps to keep him away from the attack. He has to attack himself. He really hasn't attacked

too much. During that knock on the. Door. I mean he has two options when he has to attack himself. To keep Lloyd away from the net. To keep him off balance so he can't press the attack or he has to start hitting better passing shots and be a better counter-puncher no other two options. Lloyd hasn't really permitted him to be a better counterpunch watcher here late in the first set and in that last game because he just won the outright winner and. See if McEnroe maintains that three quarters speed serve that he used in the. Last service game. I don't think that. McEnroe can just do more of the same. To great a risk. Lloyd surely could. Have a few games and not continue this great streak but. He wants to make sure John McCain wants to make sure of his victory. He's going to have to do something on his own.

Who certainly doesn't want to be put in the position of. The normal favorite psychology against an underdog is just to play to keep from losing. Good first serve good place in my. Seventh. Place. I'm not going to. Get. 13. 14.

Ball. Game and. Tool games are two long seconds. It will be interesting to see if. Floyd will get discouraged from pursuing this tactic he missed. There are. Two relatively easy approaches and the top of the net. He has to keep at it. And. If he has. Any hope of. Winning this match in straight sets. McEnroe's had. Eight or nine. First serves in this. Lloyd continues to hit out nothing

general about anything he does. I can roll with slow getting that ball pretty careless with. All. There's. The counter-puncher back and really no. Big deal. To that ball and the rise on his forehand slept a short crosscourt Boyd couldn't even try. Clearly out of reach. Bottom. 15:30.

Could second serve big hop. All. Right. And McEnroe gesturing that he finally. Finally. Got a. Big return thirty point break point. For mankind.

No you don't get it this time do. You. There is a good set up. Got ready to get paired perfectly for that overhead but it's likely what you should do. You tickle so easily too. Didn't force the shot. Same thing. Very. Often. Did. The. Point. When I say break at least three games to two.

I know he has it 3 too. Let's first break he's had since the fourth game of the first such. A McEnroe something to go about that game a little more and Tetley same. So we really wanted to go after it. And. Staying back keeping the ball in play. And here is that deliberate. Crunching overhead. For game point break. I feel that I see quickly the British flag. Now I read 15 proving of the number one player from Britain's performance here at South Orange. Know.

One minute. Counting you here. Either you start to suit or your watch is. A little bit of. Chit chat between the General Court Judge Les wiener in New York City and Ted Reed of New York City they're talking about. Timing of players. Between the cross-overs the new rule is that players get 90 seconds. Chainsaw and 60 for the actual changeover. There is a normal 30 second. Delay allowed between two points. And something. To they have a clock that. Tells you. Where you stand. Looks a little bit like a basketball game expect Willis Reed to come pouncing down the tennis court. I got a and not John McEnroe. Well they seem to have sorted out the timing. And know still waiting for us. To sit down from there.

Stretch. Great. Back. Look up McEnroe's open stance on the serve. How. Did. It. Take. McEnroe with his nose in front. Now see what he does. To press this lead press his advantage. To keep him. Going. A little bit of an edge. Not a good shot but. Lloyd with a better one. Reminiscent of another great English tennis player Fred Perry who is running forehand was one of the greatest in the game ever.

That. Could serve again fine place. Except he didn't Dean and direction the direction right in the corner of the box. Not for my. Close. He's only good in. Grenades. Some baseball players. Came back in an.

Open stance forehand a few arrows that Lloyd may be back in four games into that second shot. That was a tired four. Took the rocket back late. And a shot at the ball that didn't do what he's been doing and that's hitting a. Body was way out of position to. Avoid the serve down to four. The second set but he has a set in hand. On the first 7:6. In the. Tie break. The. Law in part a little bit Lloyd's forehand during the last. Few points. Which.

Is. Very casual. And then Gino paid the price for. 15. Or. Find. Great. Forehand. Side.

Almost by the railing through other Lob's. Lloyd 30 15. 40. The. The. First one of the max golf. Club. Stuff. Just about the on my football ball now and again you can cross over the center service an imaginary mark between. Matching. Imaginary extension or. Center service line based on 14:30 the road even though Lloyd leads in this game like an old lady worked very very hard to get to this point to say that he's setting him up for the third set.

Well I think he certainly has that in mind. They will. Torture. You. Gordon do. You. Hear whistles. Balls on the line though. McEnroe. Is saying that he hurt the left. Obviously he

has his hand on the stick with everyone else. I don't care whether anyone else hurt. It was not a left turn off the mike. OK. I mean you got to control the major McEnroe. I don't think it was obvious I don't care what anybody else said. It speaks for itself. It all. Goes into play. First. They. Said. The second. Man. Came. Lloyd. But McEnroe still has the broken hand he's up

for three in the second set back only four games the three new ball new balls there's the ball change in nine and 11. There's a repeat that last point. Good backhand volley by Lloyd. Very angry John McEnroe. A. Comment about. The McEnroe's asking the umpire to turn the mike off. Basically he's probably right that if the player and umpire are going to have a conversation it should be out of the earshot of the crowd. Right. So. All it can do is to have the 33 seat open conversation inflame the passions of the crowd. McEnroe's reputation is. Not that saintly and. This could. Make a pretty. Unruly crowd. Turn totally against him. Make the crowd unmanageable for both players on the right track.

Michael all right fine Mr. McEnroe if you would just like tennis right. Wait a minute. I was playing tennis. You know you don't. We don't admit it. It was not oh I didn't hear it. And he didn't feel it. Time. For. One more. Twenty. One. And. The. Time to. Change it. Nine seconds. To get the ball in play. I doubt it. The penalty of course is. A. Penalty. Thank you. Point penalty system is being used in all grand prix tournaments this year. The second infraction is a game.

The third is the match. Fooling around with these. Two point penalty provisions. Want. Lloyd. On I can roast second serve there but 30

hours of beautiful walk over the back and inside politics. John trying to get a passing gun and avoid trying to get a passing shot deep in the court was nowhere close. And he hired himself about a little bit more. John holding up balls. Signal. Blue balls. The. Rapist shot mean it wasn't an easy bounce. He played it off of. 40 Love McEnroe. To go ahead 5 3 in the second set. McEnroe only five games in three seconds.

The ball boys and girls you have Jane are certainly. Doing a fine job. Trying a device that WCT uses due to the ball boys has a net. Catch the ball easily. I thought that was in case the players got out of hand. They could put it over their heads. Then. I. Can go again. Thanks it was a. Little later. That's the 30 something that. We can't hear from here. But. I. Think. That was making you a new person. I know you heard it all. It's called Five Winter Games. Is you

what you call it. I can hear you. What you made two mistakes in two games that you think. It. Was the third was Ted read dealt with. No the. Field judge looks around for a supervisor. Supervisor supervisor. Franco Bartonella. He was. I will. Grant three supervisors this week. Neither he told the referee I'm a mess. Slight. 13:15. Lloyd serving.

A. Slow motion replay and McEnroe with the great passing shot down on. The sideline. Named Andy. Poorly. In. Of the difficult ball to try to make an approach from sounds half way between the service line based time trying to overpower the ball. With like you're trying to get the point over with quickly.

Boyd still has to break in hand. He will serve at 5 4. Or the second set and second set. McEnroe leaves five games to fall. McEnroe lost the first one. 7 6 in a tiebreaker. John McEnroe has requested changes in that court judge. Decided right there that. He can make authorizer he can down there now. No it's. Just terrible. Neither the referees supervisors or insights. It's just it's a little puzzling me. How it. Goes I don't know whether it is right

or wrong. He can make that request about the request. And have it granted and he can have it refused or granted. With the score. 7:6 for Lloyd in the first set. And McEnroe leading with his own serve to follow five 4 in the second course now for station identification. What does he. Do. What. This program is made possible by a grant from the score. Plainfield New Jersey. This is PBS though public broadcasting service. Please. Call. Me.

On the. Backlog. McEnroe first served four five for serving for the second set. Back and on the. Flip. Side more. Like continuing continuing to attack when he can. Here it is in replay. Perfect body position and McEnroe's back stayed low to the ball.

30 points and set of the match to the a piece still low percentage of first serve the game he has to serve him. With the speed. Did he hit 30 or even when he could close the net by a foot and still get it. That's his first total for the match. Still know first serves in this game for McEnroe

very shallow. Down. To the. Metaphor. Winter. Down the line. The call hit and run very. Well. Important here John McEnroe that you get that first serve in. 30 all still two points away from the break where the. Sun. Is. Falling faster than. That. Racket. Roll out in front of them will have a replay. Of that. Quick exciting. For me. I like to fast gunslingers.

Face to face 40 30 set point back and run. And that's all. I can. Take. All right. John Lloyd yesterday when the very light of got the. Second set everybody thought that that was the end of the match. What are you going to do here. I have a feeling team that. Lloyd will hang in there tough. Throughout the third shot. Well he hung there in the second set. Tough difference between today and yesterday he was in the match against Carolina as he really looked the second set slot. Today. He was giving it a go to see if he could break back and get back. On even terms in the second set.

But. In game difference in that first set was McEnroe serve to hit 70 percent of his first serves and he had an ace. But the quality of the serving was terrific. Very deep pinpointing from side to side. Well. Not. Bad. Second. SERVANT. Dino Floyd will have to improve on his serving over the second set he only had 46 percent of his first serves and. Won the match. Makerere has eight in the match.

For his. Well let's call it flawed. Last I heard that. McEnroe. Counter-punching brilliantly. 15:13. X-1 first goal. Of forehand by Lloyd
