@zezo510 have you ever watched tennis BEFORE 2003? Seriously, tennis is much more than Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Murray. The latter 2 have made almost a career (murray more than nadal) of waiting for an opponents error because of how stupidly slow the courts are getting. There can be so much variation on a tennis court with quicker courts and even a basliner like borg so the merits of consistently approaching. It just can't be done in todays game with the slower balls. Players like nadal have

@zezo510 improved their net game, but nadals net game consists of coming in behind a stabbed return from an opponent and putting in a short volley. It's effective and works alot of the time, but there's no flare that a spectacular net game can produce. Unfortunately, your comment is simply a product of the past 10 years of tennis technology and deliberate slowing of the courts...it's nice to watch, but the skill and variation is slowly being destroyed

@Peaches1822 Haha I see you, I'm 19 but didn't get into tennis until I was a teenager really, thanks to Roger anyways, and it's gonna be weird in a few years to probably call him a classical style player because of the new way it is played today...

[Peaches1822]

@LegendKiller0084 haha I'm 24 so I don't consider my self (that) old. So I grew up watching sampras and the like, but I was more inspired by the later generation, I just appreciate where tennis has come from

[LegendKiller0084]

@Peaches1822 Oh? I thought you were the type (like my father) who dismisses all progress after the 80's and uses phrases like "they dont make athletes like they used to", you know, clinging to older times haha I dont mean that in a bad way though

[Peaches1822]

@LegendKiller0084 I was actually referring as a fed fan

[LegendKiller0084]

@Peaches1822 Generally I'd say yes we are in the same boat, don't get me wrong, the French is supposed to be slow, and I think the US Open is still as fast as ever (minus last year because of the hurricane not allowing the USTA to keep the courts as pristine as they usually do every year). Australia and Wimbledon have slowed down way too much, looking at Australian Open Highlights pre-2008 and then now the difference is too great, and we all know the story with the new grass haha, Roger the GOAT

[Peaches1822]

@Peaches1822 IMO

[Peaches1822]

@LegendKiller0084 ahhhh, looks like were are on the same (currently depressing) side. Ye, I don't think it's a fluke that one of federers most successful courts is Cincinnati which has by far the quickest conditions in the main tour out of GS and masters, and even a lot of indoor too.

[LegendKiller0084]

@Peaches1822 Yeah, I think it's incredibly unfair that they have slowed the courts to the degree they have, and yes the fact that I'm a Roger fan is the sole motivation for that :)

[Peaches1822]

carry on complaining about it :). And though I agree that the surface keeps the ball up too much, I think nadals way of hitting approach shots isn't good, be basically hits a hard ground stroke and that seems to just sit up. I'm surprised at the amount of net points he loses when he makes an approach. And the poor ground stokes was a tad to far from myself. I was simply comparing 2 extremes. that today you can get away with not exceptional groundies, the same way back then it was with volleys

[LegendKiller0084]

@Peaches1822 And honestly, unless you're a freak athlete that plays amazing defense,if you cannot be offensive with your groundstrokes you will never accomplish anything in a major, let alone come close to winning, that's ludicrous, and the fact that you mentioned that Rafa gets passed "all the time" is completely attributed to today's surfaces keeping the ball up too long, it's not Rafa's lack of skillful volleying. There are a lot of factors to explain volleying's decline but what can we do?
