40 greatest moments in tennis : in the last 40 years, from Tennis magazine. Why 40? That's how old the magazine is, and the article is a bit self-celebratory, but it's still worth a read. Less "greatest moments" than moments that highlight the changes in the sport, the article catches a lot of the development of the last 40 years. The first steel racket, league play, the development of tennis superstars, the green ball, kiddie tennis prodigies, and "You cannot be serious!" -- it's all in there.

Good posting. Interesting selection. But what about the greatest match ever on grass - 1975 Australian Open final between Connors and Newcombe, or the qualifier wins Wimbledon when Ivanesevic beat Rafter in 2001? And no room for one of the best sights in tennis, or any other sport for that matter - the Evonne Goolagong sliced backhand, a thing of beauty.
