- Ilie Nastase is one of the most gifted and fluid players in the history of tennis. A player with great touch, speed and all the strokes. Unfortunately Nastase was perhaps more well known for his temper on the court instead of his great skills. He won the U.S. Open over Arthur Ashe in 1972 and the French Open in 1973.- IMDb mini biography by: Pachin
