1980s year-end champions enjoy a fun reunion

The Finals Club, commemorating the 1980s year-end championship winners, took place in London during the ATP World Tour Finals. (If you recall, the current pros took on a 1980s knowledge test during the tournament).

"I played this event, actually the last year it was ever played in the Royal Albert hall in London," said 1989 doubles champion Patrick McEnroe. "What I remember most about it was the champagne corks going off during the match."

The '80s singles champs included John McEnroe, Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg, with many more doubles players being honored as well.

"Its a great occasion that the ATP is getting the older players back together," Brad Gilbert said of the school reunion atmosphere.

"It’s great to see the game how the continues to evolve, and grow and get bigger and better…" Patrick McEnroe said. "We had fun back in our day. I think these players these days are having fun too."
