  • temp850, that is not the real reason. They slowed down the courts and made the ball move slower. Only after that, top spin began to dominate the sport. If they speed up the court, serve and volley will come back. Just look at what happened to Paris masters. As soon as they bring the court speed back to where it was, serve and volley works fine. I do not think racket tech really changed that much especially for pros who use heavy rackets anyways even today.

  • @dura1mater Sadly because generally they can't do it with the modern racket technology. The topspin is so heavy now that its much harder to be a net player. The advantage is very much in the passing shot, not the volley. Most of the time.

  • 5:10 to 5:13 is totally beautiful. Courier blasts the return. Edberg causally reacts with a slice flat forehand into the corner backhand and drops a angled volley that defies geometry. Nobody today even dreams of this. Not even Federer.
