Connors or Borg?

Latest comment: 14 years ago6 comments3 people in discussion

This [1] nytimes link suggests it was Connors that Gerulaitis beat after a streak of losses, not Borg. Does anyone know for sure? --Gargletheape 02:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

In fact, the official ATP tour homepage [2] says Vitas has only ever beaten Borg by walkover. Will change the article back to say Connors in a bit, unless someone has something to add. --Gargletheape 02:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well, right now the article claims he was 0-16 against Borg, yet includes a quotation suggesting that he defeated Borg at least once. Which was it? Wencer 05:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Someone who's not a registered user just changed it to Borg giving no reasons. Changed it back. Can anyone who thinks it should be Borg after all please give SOME reasons on the talk page? --Gargletheape 05:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Link dump - [3]. Again Connors --Gargletheape 00:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Connors losing streak
It's pretty hard for Gerulaitis to have lost 16 straight matches to Connors when he lost only 14 matches to Connors in his entire career. Gerulaitis had lost 12 straight to Connors coming into that 1979 Masters match.[4]

Ramesh Krishnan and Martina Navratilova I don't know if this belongs on any page as it is more trivia than anything, but in 1983, Vitas apparently put his house up after Martina Navratilova claimed she might be able to defeat some of the top 100 men players and challenged her to defeat Ramesh Krishnan (at the time #100). I have found multiple retellings of the story on the internet, but none that seem to have original sources. Autkm (talk) 03:12, 23 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
