I can still remember when McEnroe got kicked out of the Australian Open one year for abusing the chair umpire too much.

He thought he was good, but they changed the rules or something LOL

Yeah. He was a pain the old mac. But his tennis was pure atristry. Not this modern power game with oversized rackets (like cricket with oversized bats).
Angles. Deftness and touch.
Im old school not too up to date with the modern scene.
Liked borg with a wooden racket. And especially the "big cat"...

I like guile, thought angles and second guessing your oppo.

True. But im not really comparing tennis games/eras/style of play here- just behaviour.

Maybe $1 T-shirts now from the Op Shop

Nothing better in tennis. A gripping fifth. Whether its two sets down comeback. Or alternating set wins.
I like womens tennis. There still touch and deftness there.
But the longevity and struggle of five sets puts the game in another realm I reckon.
Combatting fatigue. The power game is slightly lessened and mental fortitude comes to the fore I think.
