Edberg vs. Courier

[BrazilskiFarmer]

I remember rooting for Courier but Edberg played too well in that match

[quest8899]

edberg loves that net

[federerownz]

glides along the court, best footwork ever which is y hes the best volleyer 

[SL9SH]

long live pro staff 85!!!

Edberg = best volleyer ever. Better than Sampras, McEnroe, Rafter, Federer. Nobody was as willing and eager to approach the net as Edberg.

[QPRLAD86]

@bengtmartin Henman was a great volley player and you haven't mentioned him.

[JonnySV]

@bengtmartin I'd give Mac more credit than that, I'd consider him co-#1 with Edberg. They were just different styles of volleyers, Edberg with his pure-athleticism/picture-perfe­ct-volleys and Mac with his touch and magic.

[MrMagic002]

edberg no 1

[bull864]

Courier was playing awesome, hadn't even lost a set. Then Edberg just dissects him with the greatest serve-and-volley exhibition I've seen in my life. Edberg is quite simply the greatest volleyer of all-time. I miss seeing him play.

[cavaleer]

Edberg's little dance before he returns always makes me chuckle. haha One of the all-time great attacking games though...

[Rosposotto]

Fantastic Edberg!

[lyricsman1999O]

I met Edberg's son today in tennis:)

[Jannis777]

Edbergs forehand was awful, but he had one of the best backhand of all time. I dont know if he could be at the top of tennis today if he would play that serve & volley style

[davd1986]

@Jannis777 The courts are much slower today then they were even just 6-7 years ago. Racquet technology and bigger, more fluffier tennis balls also contribute to longer rallies.

[paulfield1]

Masterful. Up there with Federer's dissection of Roddick in the 2007 AO. Stunning.

[contactafc10]

the greatest display of serve&volley ever.

[1957thack]

@contactafc10 Yes I agree! The last generation or so! He's set the bar for serve and volley! He should give up his programing job in sweden and coach full time! Just think him and Fed!!! Hmmmmmm..

[keijimuto]

Edberg admitted that was probably the best match he´d ever played.

[lyricsman1999O]

my name is Christopher Edberg:D

[lyricsman1999O]

Stefan Edberg is my father :)

[kunvar25]

cant imagine what would edberg have been like if he used the same racquets they do now

[AlStAmPlEr]

Tennis lessons on Central Court by Edberg

[kkdkk7]

Is it magic spell ?

Its like Edberg effortlessly caresses the homing ball and it just curve away into the opponent's den anywhere Edberg wishes it to go ..

how is this possible ?

[ChristianPaul75]

Great upload! Courier was full of praise for Edberg after the match, said that he had found his master. In my opinion Edberg was the best volleyer ever, some others, even McEnroe, are close behind. Watch Edberg move, look how fast he is when he´s coming to the net. Wonder what was his personal best on 100 metres sprint.

[kinkabala]

Edbergs best match , he made peak Courier look ordinary... which was pretty hard to do then

[rehabboy01]

Edberg's weak shot or attackable shot is his 4hand, He hide it well tho.

[dassmanen44]

federer and edberg is the best players ever

[ToddSweeneyOnce]

I've never seen Stefan play better. It was great to watch. I had it taped back then and erased it! I still regret that.

[dura1mater]

Wish someone would upload a Hi Def verion of this beauty! Just goes to show you, S/V will still work today. Guys are just too lazy and unimaginitive to develop their games.  Courier hit with as much spin and pace as players today.

[Buffsterron]

his volleys turn me on

[iguarni]

One of the best volley-player in tennis history!

[vladinikolov01]

Edberg is a genius at the net

[Federerfan22]

This must be one of the finest demonstrations ever of serve-and-volley.

[alin1975]

Magnificent. I absolutely love this video. When Edberg was at his best it looked like nothing I have ever seen.

[Stier19812002]

Two of my absolute favourite players. One of the best attackers of all time against one great base liner. Furthermore two extremely fair and sympathic players. It was great tennis.

[cathwitness]

For a couple years Edberg/Courier were the No. 1 & 2 ranked players.

Edberg got him twice at the faster US Open,

but Courier beat him in two finals at the slower Aussie Open.

[bjornborg2007]

he had the best back hand volley

[andrewblastoff]

6:26 this volley is amazing

[kegsterino12]

Man - I love watching this video over and over. Courier got absolutely OWNED. I love seeing him get destroyed, he just had this on-court arrogance that used to really piss me off. Edberg puts him in the shade.

[federerlegend]

looked like he is a nice guy

[bragunovskoie]

Thanks for posting this final. I love Edberg´s game, so classy and stylish.Best serve-volleyer ever!

[9tails23]

what an attacker

[bordtennis11]

wow, what a player!:) This is one of the best Edberg-video on Youtube! Thank you for posting it!:)

[pacodemic]

ty for the comment, its my best tennis upload, in my opinion, it was magic :-)

[kamhey]

@pacodemic Yes, I was a massive Stefan Edberg fan, this match it was flawless from the great swede. He won it again next year also.
