Talk:Guillermo Vilas

message: Some tournament wins by Vilas in the summer of 1977 (including Columbus, South Orange, and Louisville) were probably not on hard court, but an har tru, a surface that was more like a clay court and was played at the USO 1975-1977 (counted as clay by the ATP). Its one of the many faults and inconsistencies on the ATP webside, on which the article is following. Nadal wouldn't have broken a 53 match record of Vilas on clay (as it is acccepted by the ATP), if the hard court notations of the ATP were true. Its simple arithmetic, he lost on clay shortly before French Open.Also the overall win streak of Vilas was probabably 50 matches, as it was announced in all papers back then, before Nastase broke it in France. The ATP probably doesn't count a tournament in Rye in the US, which Vilas also won (so his tally is 17 titles in 1977, not 16), second to Laver in open era, who won 18 or 17 titles in 1969 (depending on the count, if you count a 4 men event in London BBC 2, or not).(german friend 3.

thread_title:  hard and clay in 77 

message: The ATP is probably wrong in stating that Louisville, Columbus and South Orange in 1977 were played on hard : the ITF Website contradicts that. The ATP site itself puts that Louisville and South Orange were on clay in 76 and 78. At the time many US tournaments before the US Open took time to revert from clay to hard after the US Open had changed in 78. Carlo Colussi 11:21, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Vilas Roland Garros 1977.gif

message: Vilas has the records of more titles and matches wins in clay, but most important, this records too in outdoor (clay + grass + carpet + hard). Since Open Era, of course.
That's correct, 798 matches won and 55 titles won on outdoor, Open Era.--Tennis old man (talk) 19:02, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
