holy smokes. pete was on fire that day.
he could have destroyed anybody that day. the serve was just insane.
the Russian must have felt totally helpless.
incredible power off the ground too. pete could hurt you in so many ways.
Yes, he was. He was clearly in the zone that day and you know, Yevgeny was a good hard court player in general though that's an indoor even but still, he did make the final, innit. Anyway, I must have seen it live as I watched a lot of his matches especially the important ones that were televised. Internet wasn't all that handy in those days but still, in 1998, I got on board.
I really liked Kafelnikov. He really liked Pete too. It was always pleasure to see him play.
