Mid 1990's - probably 1995 on the Jimmy Conners Champions Tour. Last game of second set and tiebreaker.

@MrRosenleaf406 9 ай бұрын

His career was hampered by the Iranian Revolution, once he got out he was limited for quite a while to playing in France. I suspect had he been able to get out earlier, or other circumstances been different, he would have been a major ATP player.

I had a RSM who forced me to shave my moustache off. I saw him years later when I had a even bigger moustache. He was still a RSM and I was a Major. He saluted me and vice-versa. That was the only communication between us.

@Kent Eriksson Yeh, sad fact i know but i used to be a nike tennis clothing nerd for what agassi and courier used to wear and Bahrami has a pair of nike air resistance supreme court tennis shoes with heavy rubber at front of shoe, courier wore these in 1994/95/96 when they were released, they were more mainstream to buy in 1995 but everyone wanted agassi's nike air challenge as agassi and sampras were up and down for no.1 spot, the nike air resistance voted probably the most durable tennis trainer of all time cos heavy duty yet lite, but i put money this match is 1995 plus conners used to play with that prince racquet which is a hybrid of a modern racquet with a single beam old skool neck which came out in 95 :)

Mansour is a complete player. So much right hand/forearm strength and control, it made him indecisive on several shots - because he had them all. Also, real players know he means business, because he's got the Pro Kennex (shiny) in 1994. For those who know, that's a player's stick for real.

Rod Laver said that Bahrami was a major talent. Unfortunately, because he is Iranian, he was not able to get access to the kind of resources (coaching, tournaments) that would have been available had he been from another more free country. He's done very well playing exhibition matches. He's very entertaining and has quite an array of amazing tennis tricks.

Many professionals who came after him refer have referred to Bahrami as a player who influenced them in their youth. One of the nicest players you could hope to meet.
