“I enjoy your podcast and listening to your thoughtful views on tennis. I do however feel you missed the mark on your analysis of the Guillermo Vilas documentary. One, the film presents an depth perspective on one of the most interesting and important persons in tennis history that helps provide an understanding of the real person behind this ranking rather than a generic presentation of a former tennis player wanting to be recognized for the number one ranking. Two, many of the scenes are emotional and heartfelt such as Borg’s opinion that Vilas should have received the top ranking. Your negative opinion of the film totally failed to recognize these aspects of the documentary. Finally I thought you could have mentioned Rod Laver’s view that perhaps the ATP didn’t recognize Vilas as number one in the 1970s because he wasn’t American and didn’t represent the ATP in a way that reflected their marketing goals for the game. Perhaps you could address all of these points in a future podcast? Thanks for listening.”
