Review:

Jimmy Connors was commentating in between play this afternoon, and they showed the conclusion of 
his match against erstwhile rival John McEnroe. Really got into the spirit of the match, despite the 25 
years gap. There was something quite surreal about it all, cheering on Jimmy. These moments evoke 
so much for me, but I can't convey them. The nostalgia, all your life reflected in a childhood hero, 
flashes of your schooldays come back to you. Even feelings that you can't put a finger on, when you 
like to think you know yourself well enough. After all the excitemenet, Connors and McEnroe were 
there together talking afterwards, putting their old rivalry to good use.
