@GETole YOUR COMMENTS ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY ZAND MAC WAS RIGHT ABOUT WOOD,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MY SON PLAYS DIV 1 COLLEGIATE TENNIS AND HE IS A SERVE AND VOLLEY PLAYER...........HE WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER OFF IN THE WOOD ERA..............TODAY'S TENNIS IS BASH UM AS HARD AS YOU CAN ON EVERY STROKE AND IT TAKES THE ART FROM THE GAME..........THATS WHY FED IS SO SPECIAL IN TODAYS GAME
The racket tech today is insane compared to back then--players today have way more power due to the rackets. At one point McEnroe called for a ban on any racket except wooden, basically saying that would separate the men from the boys. I tend to agree.
Borg was using a wood racket, and Nadel is using a Bazooka racket along with all the other players in today's game.
Bjorn only played 7 years,still holds the record on having the highest winning percentage in major tournaments, its around 89 %. He played the Australian only once .
Its a much different area, but Bjorn was a very different player compared to all the players back then.
As Connors and Mac said for what he did in such a short period of time, it can't be matched!

Borg was a machine.

I know it's kinda impossible to compare different eras but it seems to me that Borg would own Nadal on clay. He's everywhere on the court.

vitas was very talented but much to weak against a machine like borg use to be

Don't you all remember the incredible semi finale gerulaitis did against connors in order to reach the finale !!!! I was there, what a souvenir !!!

Gerulaitis è stato un grandissimo tennista,un artista della racchetta,un piacere vederlo giocare. Con Borg perdeva,ma non è importante.

haha, Gerulaitis was such a pusher back in the day...even Simon today would be jealous of him. Nice racquet skills though
