Gonzales Tennis

I am looking for video clips of the tennis legend Pancho Gonzales?

I looked for Gonzales clips on YouTube,and Google Video.
No luck.
Nothing on Getty images,or Corbis either.

Wimbledon does have a pay video service.They have live matches from the Championships,and archives.

If you want to order a video of tennis greats,including Gonzales,there is one called "KIngs of the Court".

http://www.woodtennis.com/

It's the video you see there on the right.

You can email Joe Schartman who runs the site and ask if he has any other material available.
Your problem with Gonzales is that he turned pro very early,and didn't play in many majors.Before open tennis,the pros would be a small group of top players who would go from city,to city.
I don't think there is alot of film of those events.

Federer Gonzales Madrid Tennis Masters Series 2006 Final

Australian Open - Top Men's Seeds Lead the Way

The tennis match started rather late at 11 pm as the first match turned out to be a classic encounter between Jelena Dokic and Ana Ivanovic's conqueror, Alisa Kleybanova which Dokic won, 7-5, 5-7, 8-6 in a match that also went beyond three hours.

The men's side has not produce the stunning upsets that the women's side has produced but it was interesting to see the contrasting forms of the top four tennis players as they played on the court. Roger Federer was almost a victim of the upset axe as Tomas Berdych found a way to break Federer's serve a lot of times to even take the first and second sets at 4-6, (4) 6-7. Berdych was spritely and matched Federer stroke per stroke and was even finding the angles and painting the corners as his shot making produced winners that Federer found it impossible to reach. To compound Federer's woes, he was committing a lot of unforced errors that didn't help his cause.

The breakthrough came in the third set as Berdych appeared to be getting tired which Federer took advantage of to finally win his first set 6-4. Berdych tried to battle back but it was obvious that his strength was fading abruptly. He eventually lost the fourth set 4-6 before finally giving up the fight at 2-6. Federer appeared to be on the ropes the first two sets. He might have been able  to fight back but what if Berdych still had the energy to fight tooth and nail for every point? Perhaps Federer might have been ousted by now.

Djokovic, I think, still has consistency issues. He let Baghdatis win the third set when he should have really fought to take it and finish the game early. He should improve on his mental toughness and not get rattled easily by what his opponent is doing across the net.

As I write this, Andy Murray is engaged in a battle with Spain's Fernando Verdasco. All I can say is that Verdasco is Murray's first big test as his previous wins were not against high ranking players. As I checked the live Australian Open scores at scorespro.com, Murray and Verdasco have won two sets each with a score of  6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 3-6. Murray leads the fifth set 3-2. Is the hype surrounding Murray justifiable? I guess I have to wait for the outcome of that match.

Rafael Nadal is in an outstanding form at the moment. His last tennis match against Tommy Haas showed why he is exactly the top ranked player at the moment. Haas is no slouch as a tennis player but Nadal brushed him off in three sets, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. He only had 8 unforced errors throughout that match against Haas' 25. But Nadal hitan awesome number of winners with 53 to Haas' 25.

You think that is fantastic? Wait till you see what he did this morning. He beat Fernando Gonzales of Chile in straight sets 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. What was amazing about this victory was that Gonzales picked his game up to the next level and led the third set at 3-0. Nadal then answered back and won the next four points as Gonzales' challenge soon fizzled out. Nadal finished the match with just 11 unforced errors to Gonzales' 35 and he hit more winners with 33 to his opponent's 22.

With the way he is playing, he must be the odds on favorite to win the Australian Open men's crown, unless of course the others step up their game and prove otherwise.
