The 10 greatest tennis rivalries

1- John McEnroe Vs Bjorn Borg

1978 - 81

They played 14 matches against each other and won 7 each. This pair played less each other but leave behind the memories for their fans. It was iceman vs crazy guy. The quite swede with liquid nitrogen in his veins against the hot-head big mouth who told us ” you cannot be serious and made a catchphras out of saying.

2- Chris Everts vs Martina Narvatilova

1973 - 88

They played 80 matches agaist each other, Martina won 43 while 37 went in favour of Chris. One only needs to look at no. of matches they played agaist each other, holy meckere… There was no one big fancy weapon , just astonishing high level consistency.

3- Pete Sampras vs Andre Agassi

1989 - 2002

They played 34 matches agaist each other and 20 times luck favours Sampras while 14 times Agasi manage to won. Agasi and Sampras matches were always of great interest. The tennis lover still watches their videos and enjoyed their game. Sampras had an edge over sampras in service because his service speed was fastest at that time.

John McEnroe vs Jimmy Connors

!977 - 91

The figures are same as in the case of Agassi and Pete Sampras. Mcenroe won 20 while Connors got 14 in his favour. They both were fierce and really fought like puppies. During their matches beside audience the ball boys, umpires and media men too.
