   [1] McEnroe’s 7th and last Grand Slam title, he was only 25 years-old at the time… He captured 11 individual titles in 1984 (also contributed hugely to the World Team Cup triumph for the United States), after the US Open ’84 he added another two titles and finished the year with an amazing 82-3 win/loss record – the best one given the 20th Century! Lendl couldn’t read McEnroe’s serve at all, they both were very tired after demanding five-set semifinals. “He wasn’t going to have time to hit passing shots like he did then,” McEnroe explained the difference between the US & French Open finals of 1984.

   McEnroe’s route to his 56th title:
   1 Colin Dowdeswell 6-1, 6-1, 6-1
   2 Stefan Edberg 6-1, 6-0, 6-2
   3 Kevin Moir 6-3, 6-0, 6-3
   4 Bob Green 6-3, 6-2, 6-2
   Q Gene Mayer 7-5, 6-3, 6-4
   S Jimmy Connors 6-4, 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-3
   W Ivan Lendl 6-3, 6-4, 6-1
