Look at it this way.
Sure, it is Leo Borg. Who is about 80% of what his dad used to be.
Playing Rafa Nadal at age 80 (more or less the current state of his body), which makes it a good equivalent match.
I say it will be telling.

unless he is 10% of what his Dad used to be !

Cressy managed to somehow beat Albot in Newport in a third set tiebreaker- after serving 23!!!!! double faults. Cressy was up a set and a break in the second, then Cressy was down a break twice in the third set. Both unnervingly played terrific and hideous tennis. Both were equal with inconsistency. At times during the second set, especially as the double faults mounted up, Cressy was acting pretty loony- like he was gonna lose his s**t. It WAS.....interesting.

Cressy is always a wild player to watch--he serves two first serves, which does lead to a lot of doubles.
