He wasn't just talking about some old thrashton. He wanted to hit a few balls after the game was over for today, with none other than his old opponent Bjorn Borg.

What a thought that was. Center Court is a little nostalgic, harking back to the sun-drenched highlands of the seventies, when racquets were wooden, hair was long, and shorts were shorts.

For what the All England Club had to say about the idea, please go here.

Elsewhere, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic reached the men's final on Sunday, each winning in straight sets.

Who are the defending champions?

Last This year, Novak Djokovic recovered from his defeat in the final and beat Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 6- 3, 6-4, 7-6.

Elena Rybakina won her first major singles title when she fought back to beat Ons Jabert 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.

Who wouldn't want to see two of the greatest practitioners of that golden era bat and volley a couple of games later? Who wouldn't want to see McEnroe's beautiful pitching arc in a legal environment? Or witness Borg striding across the lawn again to perform a seemingly impossible backhand retaliation? Surely no one could refuse such an offer.

Well, apparently Wimbledon could. McEnroe told ESPN that his request was denied without a second thought. He was told that he needed to hold a tournament, there was no time for flim or flame. But if the two of them really wanted to put on their white again and have some fun, maybe they could go somewhere less crazy, somewhere away from the fight, in the middle of nowhere. Maybe like court number six? Short of suggesting they couldn't be serious, McEnroe turned down the offer. Not least because it's not entirely certain that neither he nor Borg, those Central Court elders, know exactly where Court Number Six is.

One thing about Wimbledon: no one can to break rules. Whoever they are, no matter how many titles they've won, no matter how much joy they've brought in some tournament.
