Footage/memories of old matches


Sorry to start a new topic if there is already one that would have sufficed. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any way to get hold of footage of old matches if it cant be found on youtube/google video search?

I wondered whether people on here might even have some old footage they kept of favourite matches from back in the days of VHS etc.? Would love to know what people kept if so!

The one I've been thinking I'd like to see most recently is wimbledon 1993 Chris Bailey vs Ivanisevic - Bailey was a brit who had match point before loosing and ivanisevic had made the final the year before. 

I dont remember much about Chris's playing style other than that he was 6'5" and had a big serve but I'd love to see some footage of him playing (even from other matches) cos he had a bit influence on my love for tennis - he went to the highschool up the road from me in Norwich that a lot of friends and some family went to. I remember so clearly watching the above match - I was 11 years old and had just started to play tennis having got into it cos of Agassi's success the previous two years. I'd gone to Wimbledon for the first time  with my Dad on the first day of the tournament that year and this must have been on day 3 or 4 as it was 2nd round.  Bailey came to a few coaching sessions where I played in the following years and I still remember trying to return his serve and failing and also playing some rallies and getting compliments from him on a backhand pass I managed to beat him with (obvs he wasnt trying fully). 

What matches are the most memorable ones from other's earliest days as fans?
