I so wanted our 'enery to win that. In those days I guess we weren't used to loud brash Americans and it kind of offended our British sense of modesty and reserve. I remember feeling the same way about Billie-Jean King and later Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe. Later on I grew to love all of them (particularly Billie-Jean and Ali) Of course the intervening years of saturation American TV and culture has completely changed the British mindset.
