    Yes, but not the 'golden age' of tennis for me. Probably open era to
    1984 is the real golden age with players like Laver, Borg, Connors,
    McEnroe. That's when tennis really boomed and was the most popular.

    The most boring years since I've been watching tennis is probably when
    Lendl v Wilander was the top rivalry. Murray is also dreadful to watch complete bore. Alcaraz is incredible, Sinner very good too.

    I honestly disagree. Great players, one and all, but I remember watching Yannick Noah & Mats Wilander in the 1983 Roland Garros final. Truly
    pussy tennis.

    The most boring years since I've been watching tennis is probably when
    Lendl v Wilander was the top rivalry. Murray is also dreadful to watch complete bore.-a Alcaraz is incredible, Sinner very good too.

    I 100% agree with your last sentence.
